I'm not good at writing reviews for books that I like. How do you praise a book so much that it inspires everyone you know to read it but without sounding obsessed or psychotic? I only end up rambling about the same thing over and over again. Well, here goes nothing: 
 "The trick is to find that one person who can give it back as good as they can take it." 
 -- Sally Thorne, The Hating Game 
 I have a hard time with romance novels. I'm not really into the over dramatic, immature, "typical YA love drama" that leaves you with a permanent headache (you know what I mean). The types of books all of us loved as teenagers. 
 That was the expectation I had going into The Hating Game. An immature lovesaga that would have my eyes permanently stuck, shrunken inside my skull. 
 But I was rather swept of my feet instead. 
 This book made my head spin, my stomach flutter and my eyes tearing up from happiness. A caught myself smiling to myself throughout the whole book. It was so damn cute! 
 The drama is there, but it feels so believable and not like a bad soap opera. The banter between the characters was enjoyable rather than annoying. I fell in love with Lucy and Josh and their genuine chemistry and the sexual tension was amazing. 
 "What are you imagining? Your expression is filthy." 
 "Strangling you. Bare hands." I can barely get the words out. I'm huskier than a phone-sex operator after a double shift. 
 "So that's your kink." His eyes are going dark. 
 "Only where you're concerned." 
 Both his eyebrows ratchet up, and he opens his mouth as his eyes go completely black, but he does not seem to be able to say a word. 
 It is wonderful." 
 -- Sally Thorne, The Hating Game 
 This book i very mature for its genrie but it is sugary sweet and will leave you with a risk of evolving diabetes. 
 This book will make you tip on your toes from page one and you will hope for it to never end. 
 I know I did.
