The Hating Game
Sally Thorne, 2016
Two rival publishing assistants share an office, a promotion and a mutual loathing so intense it starts to look like something else.

The Hating Game was adapted into a 2021 film starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell.
Feels like tenderness, love and home.
The unsettling physics of hating someone you can’t stop thinking about.
I have a theory. Hating someone feels disturbingly similar to being in love with them. I’ve had a lot of time to compare love and hate, and these are my observations.Love and hate are visceral. Your stomach twists at the thought of that person. The heart in your chest beats heavy and bright, nearly visible through your flesh and clothes. Your appetite and sleep are schredded. Every interaction spikes your blood with adrenaline, and you’re in the brink of fight or flight. Your body is barely under your control. You’re consumed, and it scares you.Both love and hate are mirror versions of the same game - and you háve to win. Why? Your heart and your ego. Trust me, I should know. Books by Sally Thorne
