The Hating Game Episode
Book Interrupted
11/01/24 • 77 min
Join Lindsay, Kim, Meredith, Ashley and Sarah as they discuss our first romance novel “The Hating Game” by Sally Thorne. The women go from hot elevator scenes to pick up artists and murderous incels. They reflect on the ‘bad guy’ storyline in books, movies and their own lives. Would adding a little crime to this romance spiced things up for the members, maybe?
Everyone shares whether they would recommend the book and/or the movie and which one they enjoyed more, except Kim because she forgot to watch the movie again (haha)!
This book was made into a movie in 2021 and stars Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell, Damon Daunno, Kathryn Boswell and Sakina Jaffrey.
Discussion Points:
