I would like to sue for emotional damages and a box of tissues.

But seriously though, this was so good. Even if I did sob so hard I worried my cats.

I am a sucker for the fake dating trope and Amanda Woody executed it masterfully in They Hate Each Other. Honestly though, how could anything have gone wrong with their incredibly well thought out plan to fake date and break up to get their friends off their backs?!?!

The backbone of this romcom was finding family and the weight of self-sufficiency (hence all the bawling) and even though the topics were heavy, the lighthearted hate to love kept things moving.

4.75/5 stars
