This release is a huge milestone because it’s our first-ever author-annotated contemporary romance. Sally Thorne takes us back to Bexley & Gamin to share all her behind-the-scenes thoughts on Lucy and Josh. Our edition features a premium cloth cover that feels as high-end as one of Joshua’s suits, making it the ultimate trophy for your shelf.

Why The Hating Game is Such an Iconic Rom-Com
Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman are executive assistants who despise everything about each other. Trapped in a shared office at Bexley & Gamin, they spend their days playing a series of passive aggressive games while vying for the same executive promotion.
But as their competition heats up, the line between love and hate begins to blur. The Hating Game is a masterclass in slow burn romance, sharp banter, and the realization that the person you think you hate might actually be the one who knows you best.
When we began designing this edition, we wanted it to feel as polished and intentional as a custom tailored suit. We focused on the details that fans have obsessed over for a decade, from the "Shortcake" energy to the legendary elevator scenes.
Why You’ll Love This Edition
This is not just a beautiful book for your shelf. It is a celebration of ten years of Lucy and Josh. We packed this edition with features that celebrate this iconic rom-com and bring it to life!
The Hating Game is for lovers of: sharp office banter, height differences, and the kind of "I’ve noticed everything about you" tension that keeps you turning pages. It’s the ultimate read for anyone who enjoys forced proximity, professional rivals, and of course, enemies to lovers.
