As a devoted reader of Meghan Quinn's work, I can confidently say that "The Way I Hate Him" has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. In fact, I loved it so much that I recently revisited the story as an audiobook. This captivating novel delivers on all the classic tropes I adore, including enemies-to-lovers, small-town charm, age-gap romance, and the allure of a rockstar lifestyle.
Hayes, is a rockstar who leads a life on the road, shrouded in loneliness and isolation. He employs every tactic at his disposal to avoid feeling and building meaningful connections with others. Despite his turbulent inner world, Hayes exudes a captivating charm, with his alluring persona and seductive dirty talk. He is a walking embodiment of sin and sexuality, evoking a powerful allure wherever he goes.
Hattie's life spirals out of control after the tragic passing of her sister and failing her final semester of graduate school. In an effort to heal, she decides to return to her family's hometown of Almond Bay. However, her fresh start becomes complicated when she is coerced into taking a job with Hayes, a renowned musician and the sworn enemy of her brother. As Hattie struggles to adjust to her new life and reconcile with her estranged siblings, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Hayes, the one person she is supposed to hate.
In this heart-wrenching tale, Hattie must confront her deepest fears and desires as she navigates the tangled web of family, love, and betrayal.
"The Way I Hate Him," delivers everything I've come to expect from Meghan Quinn’s writing - sharp banter, steamy romance, and laugh-out-loud humor. The spice in chapter 20 was off-the-charts hot🔥🥵! Yet, this book offers something more - a heartfelt and emotional storyline that struck a chord with me. The evolution of Hattie and Hayes's relationship was a highlight, as their journey from enemies to friends to something more was both sweet and endearing. I also found myself invested in the well-crafted cast of secondary characters, and I'm eagerly anticipating the upcoming books featuring Hattie's siblings. The audiobook, narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin, is top-notch, bringing the characters to life with humor and emotion. The duet format adds an extra layer of authenticity, making this a must-read for Quinn fans and anyone who loves a mix of sweet and steamy romance.

Literal Perfection
R E V I E WThe Way I Hate Him by Meghan QuinnCan we please give a round of applause to Meghan. You did it again. I loved this book so incredibly much. I keep saying that each book I read by you is a new favorite.. but I can confidently say that this one is at the tippy top of the list! I am seriously beating myself up for not reading this sooner.I honestly don't even know how to put into words how to review this book. I experience so many emotions while reading this. I laughed. I cried. I swooned. I blushed. Good god this was so damn good. Hayes and Hattie are everything I love in a good rom com. The banter between these two were top notch. I was seriously laughing so hard I was crying sometimes. The story of these two was just so beautifully written and so well developed! I truly felt like I knew each of them. The tension, angst, frustration, and just over all feelings toward each other was perfect. Even though this story most surrounds Hattie and Hayes, the side characters and stories left me wanting more of them! I love when a book makes me fall in love with all of the characters in the book and wanting their stories. I am seriously foaming at the mouth for Maggies book. I know that one is going to be stellar!If you like-Small Town-Age Gap-Brothers Rival-Rockstar-Family healing after lossPlease read this! You will not regret it!

Over the past years, my stance on romantic comedy has changed so much, to a point where I run away at the mention of it.
But, The Way I Hate Him is an exception to this rule! Why you may ask?
- Small town
- Age gap
- Rockstar romance
- Enemies to lovers
- Ex-boyfriend’s boss
- Brother’s enemy
- Boss x employee
Now do I needed more reasons? Nope. I was already sold on rockstar romance.
“She’s made me realize what a heartbeat feels like again. A pulse. She’s made me breathe. Lifted my chin.
Opened my eyes to the world around me when I’d done nothing but kept my head down since the moment my mom abandoned me.”
The Way I Hate Him is a delicious mix of comedy, romance and everything in between.
And I am going to say it, Hayes Farrow is officially my new favourite male character. And I don’t think I’ll ever recover from this book. It was emotional, sexy, and such a good time.
Hattie’s grief over the loss of her sister (who was also a mother figure) was so raw, I could feel it.
And the way Meghan incorporated scenes with so much emotional depth in the otherwise humorous narrative of the book, made the whole reading experience extraordinary.
The chemistry between Hayes and Hattie was sizzling hot. The banter, the teasing and the spice! The spice, people! When I say you are going to learn a thing or two, trust me on this.
Loved every second of this book, even though I was not a fan of the third act breakup, I still loved it, taking it as a necessity.
Before I end this review, I’d be a God damn bad person if I don’t mention Maggie.
“Maggie: Well, depends. You can show him how much you hate him by taking your shoe off and throwing it at him.”
Yeah, so we need Maggie. More importantly, we need Maggie and Ryland!
I also can’t end this without talking about Gran and the flower scene. Nope 😁
I recommend this book to each and everyone of you. Read it. Read it. Read it!
