She’s five foot and as someone who is 5 foot 2 inches, I don’t think that’s a huge difference. Reviewīefore I start my review, I wanna get off my chest that Lucy isn’t that short.

Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn’t hate Joshua Templeman. The stakes have never been higher and as the competition heats up and the barriers between them begin to fall down, Lucy starts questioning just who her opponent truly is and whether this man she’s hated all this time is even the real Josh. When a new executive position is announced, Josh and Lucy are top contenders for the promotion, but the idea of working for the other is so unthinkable that they strike a deal: whoever doesn’t get the job will walk away. Trapped in a shared office together five days a week, they’ve become entrenched in an addictive, never-ending game of one-upmanship. And he gets under her skin like no one else can. Josh is the dark and brooding to Lucy’s light and cheery, the crisp pressed suit to her retro outfits and bright red lipstick. Everyone except sarcastic, cynical, and intimidating Joshua Templeman. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone. Lucy Hutton has always believed that the nice girl can get the corner office. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. It’s only fitting I picked up the Movie Tie In version – which I normally hate – but I decided to wait the 11 weeks for the book at my library. So you know how you see these books all over the place and you wonder what the hype is? And then you kind of forget about it till you see a trailer for a book? That is the story of me and The Hating Game.
