Book Interrupted - The Hating Game Episode

The Hating Game Episode

Book Interrupted

play

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:

  • Trying a book from the romance genre because we’ve never before
  • The hate to love storyline
  • The actors chosen to play the characters
  • Hot and steamy books
  • The differences in the movie
  • Dating the “bad” boy
  • Other RomComs with a guess that actor game
  • Twilight and The Hunger Games
  • Pick up Artist’s and Incel’s
  • Staying true to the audience
  • Romance and fantasy romance
  • Adding a A storyline to the romance
  • Great reviews and pondering over demographics
