Dating You / Hating You | Christina Lauren
104 posts | 93 read | 4 reading | 63 to read
Alls fair in love and work. The first standalone romance by New York Times and #1 international bestselling author Christina Lauren (Beautiful Bastard) is a sexy, compulsively readable romantic comedy that dives headlong into the thrill and doubt of modern love. Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friends Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that theyre both high-powered agents at competing firms in Hollywood isnt enough to squash the fire. But when their two agencies mergecausing the pair to vie for the same positionall bets are off. What could have been a beautiful, blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of sabotage. Carter and Evie are both thirtysomething professionalsso why cant they act like it? Can Carter stop trying to please everyone and see how their mutual boss is really playing the game? Can Evie put aside her competitive nature long enough to figure out what she really wants in life? Can their actor clients just be something close to human? Whether these two Hollywood love/hatebirds get the storybook Hollywood ending or just a dramedy of epic proportions, you will get to enjoy Christina Laurens heartfelt, raucous, and hilarious romance style at its finest.

Not my favorite of theirs but kept my interest while processing photos and running errands. A little too predictable and clever but funny and well paced.

I don't care enough to check which was published first but this was another corporate setting open door romance much like The Roommate (Danan). In each the tropes shift and together they take down power hungry people wronging others. Not bad just predictable once the plot is visible. I did enjoy the banter and office wars though and genuinely laughted out loud at some of the shenanigans.

There were a few stressful chapters, but the 2 protagonists were VERY likable and had great chemistry with each other. Also, I enjoyed the overt feminist message included in the story.

TOP NOTCH!!! I love Christina Lauren and this one knocked it out of the park. A fast-paced talent agency, loads of sexual tension, adorable side character friendships, and crazy hijinks? What more could you want out of a romance?? ❤️💋🔥🔥🔥

#BookReport - Well, apparently I did finish 7 books this week, despite feeling like I didn't read that much!! Mostly children's books, so not too long. Currently reading the tagged book as well as the indicated in the picture, but I just started Dating You/Hating You AND Amber & Dusk this morning. Almost done with Five Children & It, which is just as funny as I remember.

And this is how authenticity is lost.

2.5-3 stars. While not the reason for the mediocre review, and admittedly a small detail, no NYer ever says “in” Long Island; it would be akin to saying “on Chicago.” It‘s just not done—it‘s always ON Long Island. Sigh. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love Christina Lauren‘s books. When I was looking for a book for the #booked2020 set in Hollywood prompt, I knew that I needed to read this one. Evie and Carter are both Hollywood agents. When they meet at a party they hit if off. But soon they find themselves working at the same office. They don‘t really know how to balance their relationship with them working together. I loved this book and had some laugh out loud moments.

After showing up to a Halloween party dressed up as Hermione it quickly becomes apparent that Evie is the only single person there. Until Carter shows up dressed as Harry Potter. Their costumes aren't the only thing they have in common and it isn't long before they give in to their chemistry and begin dating. Things are going almost too well until the day their companies merge and they're pitted against each other for a position, winner takes all.

Somewhere between a pick and a so-so. I do enjoy when the narrative switches between the two characters in a romance novel so that was a plus. It was fun but not a lot of depth.

Not had a good day. Early this morning my dog Koda was hit by a car and sadly didn‘t make it. 😓 Trying to read to distract myself and Christina Lauren seems to do a decent job.

Grateful for the time we had, we rescued him from an abusive home and he was a trouble maker but I love him and going to miss him! ❤️ positive thoughts and vibes appreciated ❣️(Still too fresh to browse and post pics)

I‘ve enjoyed Lauren‘s work previously and Dating You/Hating You doesn‘t disappoint. I really enjoyed how adult and solid the relationship between Evie and Carter becomes over the course of the two of them working together. It‘s an adult relationship, with a bit of fun and games thrown in.

This audiobook was a ton of fun. I was a bit skeptical when I read the synopsis because it literally sounds like the plot (and title) was stolen from The Hating Game, which I adored. However, these books can live simultaneously, and if you liked one, you‘ll like the other. Great fluffy romances with a hint of women empowerment.

mcipher I loved The Hating Game - stacking this!! 6y
Kaylamburson Awesome! I must admit I liked The Hating Game slightly more, but still a really fun book. @mcipher 6y

This was delightful! I'm still new to romance and figuring out what I like but I definitely liked this! The characters and the workplace story were great and I liked the 'lovers to enemies to lovers' better than enemies to lovers (if that makes sense).

KimmyM @swishandflick Will do! Any book of hers in particular you recommend? 6y
swishandflick Yes!! I'd start with either Romancing the Duke or The Duchess Deal 👌🏽 (Also... one of my favorite contemporary romance authors is Susan Elizabeth Phillips. She's got this fun romcom style with witty characters I adore. I recommend all of her stuff but Kiss an Angel is one of my fav standalones) 😄 (edited) 6y

This was an entertaining book. Cute on-again/off- again romance with some steamy scenes.

I tend to read this type of book to keep myself from entering a reading slump. I look forward to reading their other one, Roomies, later this year.

First of all, thank you so much for an incredible box of goodies, Anita! Such a varied book selection, I haven‘t read a Trixie Beldon for ages! Wallbanger might be slightly outside my comfort zone but it sounds hilarious. And not just a Disney valentines card but a Mickey Mouse Valentines Card 😍 #cupidgoespostal

neet_reads I ummed & ahhed about including Wallbanger, but it really is quite funny. No worries if you pass it on to someone else! 6y
