She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. NYC to Spain is no short flight, and her family won't be easy to fool.

Ruthie Midona is 24 (going on 94) and fully committed to her job at a luxury retirement village.

When he rocks up as the retirement village's newest employee, Ruthie is less than impressed. The last thing she needs is a distraction as irritating (and handsome) as this selfish rich kid. Lucky for Ruthie, her favourite pair of mischievous residents need a new assistant to torture.

Story
Hi, my name is Bree Camden, and I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend and star quarterback Nathan Donelson (so is half of America, judging by the tabloids and how much the guy dates). The first step is admitting it, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us. Nothing but good old-fashioned no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. Good. (I’m not crying; I’m just peeling an onion.)

Her meet-cute with her fiancé is something out of a romantic comedy (gag), and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of internet contests (double gag). Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.

She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children. Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen - especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Even her dog, Stuntman Mike, adores him. The only catch: Josh wants a big family.

Summary
Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman sit across from each other every day...and they hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate.
Lucy can't understand Joshua's joyless, uptight approach to his job and refusal to smile. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy's overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and desire to be liked. Now they're up for the same promotion, and Lucy, usually a determined people pleaser, has had enough: it's time to take him down.
But as the tension between Lucy and Joshua reaches its boiling point, it's clear that the real battle has only just begun....
This best-selling, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy is an unmissable, utterly loveable treat and is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren's Unhoneymooners or Emily Henry's Beach Read.

So incredibly cheesy I almost enjoyed it
I've never read/listened to anything like this before. I desperately needed something light after the ordeal that was A Place of Greater Safety, but this was massively too far the other way!
Without a shadow of a doubt this is the most predictable, cheesy, contrived and cliched book I have ever read/listened to, by miles.
I was in actual physical pain for much of it. However, for the last hour or so it got so cheesy I actually started taking a perverse pleasure in it!
In spite of the above, for some reason I just couldn't turn it off. Part of that was masochism I think. Part of it though was that I thought surely there has to be a clever twist at some point, but there wasn't even a hint of one, totally predictable throughout!
On a more serious note I did find the book really shallow. In particular I thought the obsession with looks and appearances was pretty unenlightened.
More than anything I just felt like I was listening to someone's sexual fantasy, which is fine I guess if that's what you are looking for, but I was hoping there would be more to it than that.

Abusive not romantic
I've never wrote a bad review before because books are subjective, but this made me feel embarrassed and ashamed to listen to it.
I understand that in hate to love romances we need to start off thinking that the man is a jerk and then discover it was a misunderstanding, but this took the bad boy thing too far.
She's repeatedly physically scared of him yet continues to follow his controlling commands. After intimidating her he actually says 'I love how small you are' which left me very uncomfortable.
The author even makes a joke that she the main character must have Stockholm syndrome, which is the only expiation for this behaviour.
I love romance, but a controlling relationship passed off as romance is very unsettling.

Story
This may have ruined hate-to-love romances for me!
I AM IN A PUDDLE OF FEELINGS. GAAAAH.
I finished this book days ago, and I still can't deal with the fact that it's over. I both regret and don't regret the binge-reading (finished in less than 24 hours...mid-work week). I'm just glad I have this in both audio and Kindle format so that I can read/listen again and again whenever I want because THIS WAS TOO GOOD. (The audio is done really well, FYI.)
I love love love hate-to-love romances, and this one is done so well and so uniquely. We've got forced proximity on a daily basis, glorious banter, and oodles of sexual tension. OODLES.
If you follow me on Twitter or have read other reviews by me, you might know that I am not a fan of the short and petite heroine thing. Not every damn heroine needs to be a tiny redhead. So I wasn't impressed at first when, lo and behold, Lucy is only five feet tall. Pair that with Josh, who is over six-foot. Authors tend to write these stereotypical pairings without thinking of the logistics; if you take a moment to think about it, making out with a height different of over a foot is going to be uncomfortable at best, and possibly even quite painful. BUT NOT SALLY THORNE. Sally actually thought this one through and acknowledged the difficulties. Lucy has to climb at times, Josh has to bend down or pick her up (to put her against a wall!!!!!!!), there's a lot of "I think you're too big for me"... Thank you so much, dear sweet Sally, for not just ignoring real world problems. (P.S. I want Anna Kendrick in this role right now.)
Lucy was a great character in general. The whole story is narrated from her point of view, and I really felt like she was real. She was hilarious, but also snarky and unsure and flawed. She knew and liked who she was, but she also struggled with self-doubt at times. It drove her absolutely mad that she could get on with everyone except Josh. But, like I'm sure a lot of people can relate with, her desire to be liked by others often meant she was taken advantage of. By everyone...except Josh. Oh, Josh, you were clearly what Lucy needed.
I would have found Josh annoying, too. He's very clearly a Smart Guy, but also sooooo serious. Unlike Lucy, he doesn't try to make friends with everyone, and the reason for his standoffishness is revealed later. What was refreshing was that he was Ridiculously Good-Looking, but he hated being objectified. When Lucy remarked on his looks, it put him on edge. I'm not used to seeing that, especially from a hero. He could be quite direct, but Josh showed he cared when it counted. I especially loved a part in the middle where he had to take care of Lucy; there were so many wonderful and funny moments in that, as well as a few that showed a deeper side to him.
Yes, I loved just about everything about this book, but I really loved was how we didn't have to wait until the very end for things to sizzle. Sally introduces the physical fun relatively early on through some super sexy make-out sessions. The sexual tension runs constantly as the two stare at each other across their desks, and, being an office romance, there are of course moments when the tension gets to be too much and a few not-so-original hiding places are utilised. That being said, it never gets too explicit. And really, their banter is hot enough as it is.
Full disclosure: there is a bit of a love triangle in this. Josh doesn't consider himself a "nice guy". In fact, he's a bit bitter about the whole nice guy thing. And Lucy is a nice girl, at least outwardly (she has a bit more spunk on the inside...hahahahaha). She wants a nice guy, and she tries to be interested in a nice guy, but the niceness cannot compare to the intensity of her "hatred" for Josh. He even encourages her to try it with the nice guy, dares her to be with him, in fact. This was maybe the only time I felt a bit off about the book.
The style of writing and voice were very witty and well-paced in general. Time was shown to pass without unnecessary fillers and enough drop-ins to scenes here and there that truly added to the story and the development of feelings. Honestly, that's one of my biggest issues when reading: unnecessary fillers or there not being enough time for feelings to really develop. But no, these two have worked together for a few years, and the book covers a few months, so I could 100% believe the eventual love between them.
There's a reason I finished this within 24 hours, despite having to work/sleep/etc. It was just so damn good. I'm genuinely worried that it's ruined other hate-to-love books for me for a while, as I've never read a hate-to-love done this well, and I've read quite a few great ones! I will admit that while I'm eager to see what Sally writes next, I'm a little bit nervous that it won't live up to the greatness of The Hating Game!

ALL MY LOVE!
Holy hell. This book is everything I didn't know I needed in life. Totally predictable in places, in the BEST way possible. The plot, the characters, the narration, everything was perfection. I went on an emotional rollercoster throughout this novel and I was Truly invested in Luce and Josh from the off and their journey. Well worth a read, or a listen!

Should come with a caveat 'trashy romance'
For anyone out there who thinks this book has any thing to do with real life or 'true love', you are sadly mistaken. Applying the ideologies in this book to real life romance would be like trying to shine a mirror by spraying it with raw egg. A few words of caution:
- if you are 5 foot tall, eating ice-cream, cake and cheese will result in excessive weight gain, not a 6 foot 4' hunk lusting after you
- the person you love, becomes the most beautiful / attractive person to you until you have to pick up their dirty socks/pants off the floor, everyday, because they can't be bothered to
- deep, real, true love transcends all boundaries; they say love is blind - it really is; it is not limited to those with a six pack and piercing blue eyes
- the happiness love brings lies in your ability to give, not receive; Lucy could have tried to understand the power dynamics that caused a rift between Josh and his dad, she could have empowered Josh to stand up to his dad rather then hi-jacking the situation
- shouting at your partner's parents and humiliating them in front of family will NEVER get you applause; you will be labeled 'a pycho to be avoided at all cost'.
The excellent reviews for this book are misleading. I couldn't actually finish the book but there were some humerous bits I enjoyed. Josh's character was very cliche and Lucy is really hard to like, the words 'white privilege' come to mind when I think of her.
Hope my future searches for romance don't lead to completely predictable books like these, where the same Mills and Boons story is repeated for the billionth time!

Best book I’ve listened to
The story was not overly filled with sexually explicit narrative rather used storytelling to develop the most lovely, loving relationship between two people.well done. And beautifully told.

Simple Amazing!
I had read this book before but needed to revisit and fall into Lucy and Josh’s world again. Listening while reading has been my new favorite thing to do and to finish off 2018 when this gem was priceless.
The story is one of the best slow burns I have read.
The narrator captures Lucy’s persona brilliantly.
The only thing better would have been if Josh had is own voice, but it won’t make me rate it any less.
If you have heard the hype on this one, and you love your romance to be authentic, grab this one.

I want more.
I thoroughly enjoyed it because I like romance. If you like something like 50 Shades (I haven't read the books but I saw the movies) you will like this I think but it's just a love story of co-workers. I want another similar kind of story like this one.

Un libro bastante tierno. Una historia simpática. Una narrativa ligera y placentera para quienes somos románticos.
