I did expect it to be this white because there is not one POC in this book which it's weird because the worls IS NOT WHITE, PEOPLE.

I truly expected something else when I started this book, not all of these problematic quotes and words. What's new about these white romance novels tbh. And in this passage she compares 'scary-looking woman' with the fortune teller, so that clearly depicts how Lucy sees them. She constantly uses the words 'psycho' 'mental' 'crazy', etc. A crazed lunatic in an asylum, seconds from clawing her own eyes out.Īlso if you noticed, Lucy is ableist as well. I look like a g* fortune-teller screaming about your imminent death. Monday to Friday, he turns me into a scary-looking woman. She just uses it as an adjetive, of course, it is always used like that. And Lucy is white, privilege and I bet 1000% she doesn't even know what the meaning around it. This next thing is the worst thing for me about the whole book because it has no excuse. I just don't even know what this means, why was this written, why do you want to keep saying this in your novel. 'The dark brown headboard, plushly upholstered in leather, saves the room from femininity.' People need to stop thinking like that, it's just hurtful and not at all good. If you like pink that doesn't mean anything and if you like blue that doesn't mean ANYTHING AT ALL EITHER. First of all: things have no gender, even less COLORS HAVE NO GENDER COME ON. This keeps coming back in the book, every time Lucy tries to assign gender to random things? Stuff like 'this desk is very manly, leather is very masculine and manly, this is very male, your bedroom is so feminine.' I was tired to keep reading this. And then she begins to describe Joshua's and she says he has blue Post-Its and that his desk is the very male version of hers. Lucy is describing hers and Joshua's desk.

She wishes 'he would be a short, fat troll.' And again we see she uses 'fat' to insult. Because example #2: Lucy wishes, at one point, that Joshua wasn't perfect as she always calls him. I don't know why Lucy is using it that way, and it only tells me that she is fatphobic. I'm gonna tell you something: The word 'fat' is not something bad. And even if he was fat, she uses it in a way that she thinks she is doing him harm. What I got from this is that she thinks 'fat' is insulting and she calls him that. And she is, you find out after you keep reading. I loved those ones so so much.īut The Hating Game became The Problematic Game.įirst of all: Since the very first start, our main protagonist, Lucy, comes off as very fatphobic.

I found out it had a hate/love relationship plus an enemies to lovers trope as well. I wanted to see what's up, why is this book so popular, why does everyone love it so much. The Hating Game gets all the praise in the world.

And she is, you f Warning: This review will have lots of quotes and (?) maybe spoilers, I guess. First of all: Since the very first start, our main protagonist, Lucy, comes off as very fatphobic. But The Hating Game became The Problematic Game. Warning: This review will have lots of quotes and (?) maybe spoilers, I guess. Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job…But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn’t hate Joshua. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy’s overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude. Lucy can’t understand Joshua’s joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job.
