Sarcasm can be really challenging to write. One element I was pleased to read was Thorne’s use of sarcasm between Josh and Lucy. I also couldn’t help belly-laughing at some scenes and re-read them a few times before continuing with the novel. I often found myself reciting some of the discussions between Lucy and Josh because they were just so good. One of the best features of The Hating Game is Sally Thorne’s use of dialogue. As soon as we read about a new job opening at Gammon & Bexley Publishing, the readers are plunged into the hating fest whilst watching Lucy and Josh compete for the Creative Director position. ![]() The Hating Game follows the gate between colleagues Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman. There’s a very fine line between love and hate and Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game, shows just how similar these emotions can be. The Hating Game by Sally Thorne, Harper Collins, Paperback, 384 pages, Waterstones, £8.99 ![]()
