5 stars! 
 Review at Of Pens and Pages. 
 I know itaEUR(tm)s too early to name my top book for 2017 since there are still six months to go, but Dating You/ Hating You is definitely one of my top 2017 reads! 
 I was a bit on the fence when news about this book first came out because the blurb reminded me of The Hating Game, one of my absolute favorite books. Now that IaEUR(tm)ve read it, I think itaEUR(tm)s safe to say that the only relevant similarity is the competing against each other aspect of the story. And thataEUR(tm)s only a little part of what Dating You/ Hating You is about. 
 Two single talent agents in competing agencies meet at a Halloween party filled with couples. Despite their jobs, a connection is made, numbers are exchanged, and a week later, a date is set. These two talent agents have more in common than their career choices, and from the interactions theyaEUR(tm)ve had so far, they have a lot of chemistry between them. 
 With a possibility of a new relationship on the horizon, things are going well for our two talent agentsaEUR| until their agencies merge and theyaEUR(tm)re vying for a position only one of them can get. 
 This book made me so happy! IaEUR(tm)ve seen a lot of enemies to lovers office romances, but rarely a story where the enemy-to-lover aspect comes a bit later. The characters and situations were relatable, the characters likable, and the story had a great pace and flow that made me tear into this book page to page. Finished this baby in one sitting! 
 I wanted to weep when I was on the last page. Oh, the bittersweet feeling of finishing a book. YouaEUR(tm)re so happy to read the happily ever after, but incredibly sad because thereaEUR(tm)s nothing left to read of it. 
 Dating You/ Hating You is a lot different than the duoaEUR(tm)s previous books, and I actually love this so much more. This is definitely a more mature Christina Lauren, but the humor, effortless banter, great characters, and sizzling sexual tension are still there. I could feel the emotions seeping through the bookaEUR"anger, joy, lust, longing. Plus, Carter made me swoon! 
 IaEUR(tm)ve always been interested in what goes on behind the scenes, so it was nice to get a glimpse of what goes on in a talent agency. And I loved reading about the injustices and sexism women still face in the industry regardless of their skills and talent. Evie was a force to be reckoned with, I want to be like her one day. 
 Christina Lauren fans and contemporary romance readers will definitely enjoy this entertaining, sexy, and laugh out loud book.
