The Hating Game

Take a drink every time the narrator mentions how tiny she is and you'll be blackout drunk in the first 50 pages. I didn't hate this but it also wasn't as amazing as its reputation. Lucy was a fun character and I didn't mind being in her head, but she also felt weirdly isolated. Like, she doesn't seem to have any hobbies or friends or even a pet. All she seems to do is work, Skype her parents, and obsess about Josh. The book makes a big deal about how Lucy's best work friend got fired and blamed her, but girl. Go to a yoga class or something! Having said that, I did enjoy this. The banter was fun and it was a perfectly pleasant long holiday weekend read, though not something I feel like I'll want to revisit.
