hello and welcome to talk lit, get hit. the book podcast for recovering book snobs where we read viral books the internet won’t shut up about and rate them lit or shit. we’re your hosts bridget and laura, lovers of sad girl fiction and tragic endings - fearers of smut, urban fantasy and the “who did this to you?” trope. join us as we pick apart all the books the internet loves and embark on a journey to figure out why.

the hating game by sally thorne
this episode we dive into the immaculately shiny and mirrored world of Sally Thorne's debut novel, The Hating Game. this book won the vote for our Australian fiction month and we are left to answer the question: will the charms of an Australian author be enough to save this book from our better judgement? we talk smurfs, the tiny girl x big man trope, in appropriate office behaviour, weigh in on the Goodreads reviews and Bridget makes an elaborate analogy involving a horse blanket. have we finally found an enemies-to-lovies romance novel to crack open our cold, cynical hearts? or will the hating game end up as just another book we love to hate?
