An Ode to my Favourite Book

~ elocko ~ 1 Comment

Oh The Hating Game. I love this book so very VERY much.

I’m currently re-reading for the third time and I can promise that it does not get old. I adore these characters, and the hate to love trope with a ‘flamethrower’ level passion.

While sitting at work day dreaming about this book yet again, I stumbled upon some amazing Hating Game artwork that other book bloggers have put together. And it is now officially my screensaver. (Thank you @alleskelle.com)

Now the film is supposed to be in production later this year and I quite literally cannot wait!!! Lucy Hale and Robbie Amell are the spitting image of the characters from my mind, I know they’re going to be perfect.

Have you read the Hating Game yet?

Two Romances One Theme

DARE TO COMPARE

Two slow burn romances about childhood crushes turned into adult romances, all while fixing up a house? Two different stories.

I am one of those people that actually really enjoyed 99 Percent Mine and while recently reading Fix Her Up I kept finding little connections between the plot lines of these two books.

From the tenacious female lead that is seen as a “joke”, to the kind hearted males that start to see them differently. Both of the male leads are the brother’s best friend, making the female leads the annoying younger sisters not taken seriously.

They are both reunited after years spent apart growing into their own, and are forced into a situation where they are repairing a home, or working on themselves.

I love this romance theme of childhood crush reuniting as adults, and the fixing up a house setting, it obviously reflects the characters building up their connection together and resolving past situations.

Did anyone else find these two stories similar?
