I would have liked this book so much more if A) there wasn’t such blatant on the page eating disorder or B) there was an authors note at the beginning giving me a heads up.
Katie falls into (and tells) a few lies that get her a job she’s far from qualified for; profiling the rescue swimmer who saved Jennifer Anniston’s dog. Hutch is sweet and grumpy, but he will do anything for the people he loves. Add in a funky aunt, a thunder-phobic dog, a phone hiatus, and an impending hurricane and you get The Love Haters.
I loved most things about this book. Hutch? Dreamy. Rue? Funky and fresh. George Bailey? The best. I just wish Katie’s struggles with her body would have been approached a bit differently.
