The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
Did not finish book. Stopped at 57%.
TW MENTIONS OF SA⚠️
DNF/5. 0/5.
I bought this book from one of those blind date with a book things. It started out not to bad. It was kind of slow and it didn't keep my attention too well but there were a few cute parts. Then there was the elevator scene. Not only did he forcefully kiss her and not ask for consent but she literally talks about how she hated how he kissed her and how she wishes he didn't do it. Not to mention tha characters SUCK. They get a little better later on around where I stopped but I still hated them. Lucy (the mc) gave me Wattpad quirky girl mc vibes. Her whole personality was being short, letting people walk all over her, and liking smurfs. Josh was such a bitch too. He is the basic straight white man. He doesn't ask for consent and he is so full of himself. He fucks with Lucy's mind and manipulates her the whole damn book. Hes a walking red flag. Not to mention the books is so boring. It took my like a month and a half to get 200 pages in which is where I stopped. Not to mention that fact that the author is problematic with I only recently found out about. If I hadn't got this book from the blind date with a book I never would have picked this or chose to support a problematic author. I don't recommend buying this book. Don't waste your money on this book.
