About this listen

Now a film starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, globally bestselling author Sally Thorne's hilarious workplace comedy is all about the fine line between love and hate.

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman sit across from each other every day...and they hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate.

Lucy can't understand Joshua's joyless, uptight approach to his job and refusal to smile. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy's overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and desire to be liked. Now they're up for the same promotion, and Lucy, usually a determined people pleaser, has had enough: it's time to take him down.

But as the tension between Lucy and Joshua reaches its boiling point, it's clear that the real battle has only just begun....

This best-selling, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy is an unmissable treat, perfect for fans of Christina Lauren's Unhoneymooners or Emily Henry's Beach Read.

Really enjoyed this read. Have to admit took me a little while to get into the writing style that at first I found slightly annoying, but didn't take me long to get my head around it and loved it!

Funny, lovable story

I read the book beforehand and was in love with the story and the characters. I decided to read the audiobook so I could multitask and still have this story in my head. I just can't get enough!

Love this book!

The narrator was great and made the story flow. The storyline was cute, and parts did make me laugh out loud. Fully enjoyable :)

Great Narrating

Cutesy, romancy, a lil’ bit sexy and lots of fun. Although the story was predictable from the start, the build up created an enjoyable journey to the conclusion. I think anyone who works in an office environment will recognise and appreciate some of the power games played by the two main characters. A light, easy to listen to audiobook.

Cute

obvious from the beginning what was going to happen but a nice story nonetheless... a bit cringe at times but that could be because the 'sexy' scenes are being read to you...

Good story but didn't love it
