The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
4.0
4.3 stars
This is my guilty pleasure and I really hate admitting this. So growing up I always hated reading because school forced lame ass books on us and it was a chore to get through some of them. But two weeks ago I found myself in a Barnes and decided to just randomly buy a book and this one ended up getting purchased. I am honestly so grateful this was the first real book that I chose to read since high school (I just graduated college so it's been forever since I read a book that wasn't an assignment). It is so silly and cute that I instantly fell in love with it. Yes, it is formulaic and predictable at times but the simplicity of this romance is what warms my heart. A critique I have is how fast they started liking each other, I wish there was a little more hating. I totally get why people are meh on this book though.
Also, can we talk about how fast the movie moves compared to the book? I mean they fit everything in there but damn that was speedy also the ending??? Ok, this is a book review website and not a film review one but I felt it was necessary to mention that. Overall, I love this book, and its adorable. I really had a hard time putting it down.
