The narrator did an excellent job of voicing Lucy - I think she was the perfect pick to capture Lucy's inner monologues. The "steam" factor is hot not because of crude language and hyperbole, but because of her descriptions and ability to capture the eroticism of their inner thoughts. The characters are flawed and believable. the story arc builds slowly and credibly, with depth and realistic scenarios.

Her pacing of the book is deliciously excruciating. But, because everyone is looking for something different in a read, I'll describe why I loved it.

Sally Thorne has done it - a rare 5-star review from me. What did you love best about The Hating Game? Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn't hate Joshua Templeman. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua and dressing for work like she's got a hot date?Īfter a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth-shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether she's got Joshua Templeman all wrong. If Lucy wins this game, she'll be Joshua's boss. Lucy can't let Joshua beat her at anything-especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking. Trapped in a shared office together 40 (ok, 50 or 60) hours a week, they've become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman.

She's charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. Debut author Sally Thorne bursts on the scene with a hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love.ġ) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome.
