I really enjoyed Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game. This romantic comedy was published in 2016 and in less than two years, I’ve read it at least three times. It is a enemies to lovers trope all the way. It’s got a lot of fun elements, some great comedy, interesting characters that have depth to them, and some steamy, steamy scenes.
These books may not all have the same tropes as The Hating Game but they are a similar feel. They’re fun. The characters are interesting. They move at a good pace. Basically, they are sure to leave a goofy smile on your face.
If you’ve read The Hating Game and are looking for some similar reads, here are some books you might enjoy:
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
Olive and Ethan hate each other. But when everyone else – even the bride and groom – gets super sick from food poisoning at her twin sister’s wedding to Ethan’s brother, Olive and Ethan are coerced to go on the all-expenses paid honeymoon trip so it doesn’t go to waste. Cue a whole lot of drama, and a little romance.
This book is laugh-out-loud funny and such a perfect example of enemies-to-lovers and fake-dating tropes.

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Stella is an econometrician. Math makes things make sense. She figures out the algorithms to predict customer purchases. And she gets paid really well to do this. So well, in fact, that she can afford to pay someone to help her be better at relationships. She hires Michael to help her. She starts to really like him…but this is a strictly business relationship, right?
This book is amazing! Five stars, for sure! Extra awesome is that it is an #ownvoices novel with great representation. Stella is autistic and Helen Hoang, the author, is too.

The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
Khai finds big emotions like grief and love really hard to deal with, he thinks he’s defective but his family knows he’s not and that his autism means he processes emotions differently than most people. His mother takes matters into her own hands and brings a potential bride, Esme, from Vietnam to the USA to woo him. Unfortunately, Esme’s wooing seems to only be working on herself.
This follow up book to The Kiss Quotient is really fun, and a super sweet.
