The Hating Game by Sally Thorne: A Book Review
Summary
This is a romance novel played by two executive assistants of a publishing company who hates each other but ends up kissing in an elevator and falling in love.
Lucinda or Lucy is the only daughter of strawberry farmers and her childhood dream is to be a publisher. Joshua came from a family of doctors and his ex-girlfriend became the wife of his older brother. Joshua dropped out from med school after a year and took up business and his father never favored him, instead, focused on the eldest son, Patrick.
Joshua was described as perfection. Physically perfect but shy and timid when it comes to his father. Again, another story of man with personal issues. Lucy, on the other hand, does not have grave issues except for her retro fashion sense and a height of five feet.
Reaction
This is the debut novel of Sally Thorne. I am not impressed. The lines were not witty and there was minimal wordplay. It was light-hearted and cute and cool but not something that you can not put down.
I was not able to feel the intensity of their love and hatred, even. It’s really like a game, a childish game. It lives up to its title. Haha.
