The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

Summary: "For Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman, executive assistants to the CEOs of newly merged Bexley-Gamin Publishing, it's hate-at-first-sight. So begins a series of daily passive-aggressive maneuvers, including the staring game, the mirror game, and the HR game, each played with the intensity of the Hunger Games. Their mutual antipathy grows when a new executive position opens at Bexley-Gamin, and both their bosses put their names up for the promotion. Then, the high-stakes games begin!"

Well, The Hating Game started off promising, but slowly dissolved into disappointment. I thought it would provide an insider-look into the publishing industry, but no, it really could have been any company that Lucy and Josh worked for. Lucy's thoughts begin to solely focus on Josh, as she has no other friends, interests or hobbies. Lucy and Josh are flat characters with almost no depth. What a shame!
