The Hating Game is an incredibly funny and lighthearted read, with the surprise of also being emotional.
Lucy’s bubbly personality whilst being juxtaposed with Josh’s detachment and seriousness is perfect. Their hatred runs deep, their games with each other have increasingly higher stakes - yet hate is just a flip of a coin away from love.
The Hating Game was not a 5 star read for me as I found it too fast-paced, I tend to prefer medium-paced books and spend longer with the characters. I really wanted to see more of Josh and Lucy as
