It’s pretty much all of the things that you’d look for in a good romantic comedy in book format. It’s sweet, funny, sexy, realistic, far-fetched and loads of fun. I love good dialogue, so I jumped on this book straightaway. More recently, said internet started going gangbusters over this book from the snappy conversations to the OMG-ness of the hero. Many months ago, I added The Hating Game to my book wish list notebook (yes, I have such a thing) after it was more than likely mentioned somewhere on the internet. Why I chose it: Begged Hachette for a copy because everyone on my feed has been raving about it. The not-so-good: I cannot work out where this story is set and it bugs me. The good: The wit of the conversations between Lucy and Josh crackle with sexual tension. It’s all about getting one-up on him until she realises the hating game might not be the right one to play… He’s a colour-coordinated, diary marking devil. Except for Joshua Templeman who sits opposite her. In brief: Lucy is pretty sure she has it all and then some at work.
