Dear Thorne, 
 I have few questions for you. Where were you all my life? Well, I know you're in Australia. But how did you come up with this cute story? Is this really your debut novel? Because you had me laughing out loud all the time!! Please print many books and distribute it to the Philippines!! 
 Okay, okay. So I am not a chic-lit girl. I hate contemporary books. I hate romance so much. But I am rating your book with 5 orgasmic stars. I did not even go to work because I want to finish it. I attended a seminar but I never listened. Oh, please don't judge. The pace was perfect -- no draggy bits, no scrimmages. I was just hooked. I just devoured it in a day. 
 I may have started out riding the fence with this book, but you yanked me over and smacked some sense into me. Thank you for that and thank you for this book. WRITE ON! 
 Sincerely, 
 Your Reader Fan 
 Actual review 
 The Hating Game is a kind of story you can just inhale in one sitting - a quick, deliciously fun-filled and sexy romance. It was an extremely entertaining book. 
 Lucy and Josh are the definitions of enemies at work. They work as executive assistants to the co-CEOs of B and G company. They dedicated their lives to work yet they never missed a day stepping on each other's toes at work. When a promotion was announced, the competition between Lucy and Josh becomes even more intense. But there is so much more than rivalry at the office. 
 Lucy and Josh started to hang out in secret after work and slowly started to get to know each other. Yep, slowly. This is definitely a slower romance and not your typical "insta-attraction that turns into insta-love book". But goddamnit, their interactions were just so fun. 
 Everyone in the office knows how much they hate each other but you can't help but laugh out loud at the things they do, the exchanges of witty banter, insightful dialogue, and funny monologues. All of which made the situation even more entertaining. 
 Sure, it's cliche, okay? Enemies turned to lovers story. It wasn't even surprising. Yes, there was tension but the feelings beneath the surface are palpable! I squeaked so many times. Oh baby, fangirling is real. 
 You know what's more lovable about this book? The main characters were flawed. Lucy was short and fluffy, but not chubby, okay? Just imagine Emilia Clarke. She had these insane collections of Smurfs just like how collect books. Josh, on the other hand, was a very handsome blue-eyed tall oh-so-swoony guy with a very nice tone of abs and muscles. Yet, Josh was shy and insecure and he's not really good in expressing himself. He had a great battle within his self and I really appreciate that part. I couldn't help but feel grateful for him not being overly confident about himself like every other male character we get to read. 
 The story caught my interest with the first pages and did not let me down. It left me a great taste for a nice, unforgettable summer (even if we have an overcast weather in the Philippines) reading. I recommend it to everyone who feels like they need an intoxicating read.
