The Book I Return to When I Need Something I Know Will Work

The Hating Game is an enemies-to-lovers office romance about two assistants to co-CEOs who share a desk and despise each other with enormous creativity. Sally Thorne writes romantic tension with the precision of a watch mechanism: every chapter tightens what came before. I have read this book five times. I know exactly what happens in every scene. I still feel the pull of the tension in the scenes that build to the resolution and I am not embarrassed by that.
