The Trouble With Hating You

The Trouble With Hating You by Sajni Patel     352 pages

Liya Thakkar is sick of her parents trying to make marriage matches for her and when she realizes the latest invitation to come over to her parent's house for dinner is really an ambush for the latest man they are trying to palm her off on she bolts.  She bolts so fast and so hard she practically knocks the guy and his mother down on her furious way out the door.   She is happy being single, a modern successful woman who enjoys hooking up at bars with whoever she chooses, regardless their nationality.  Turns out the guy she just about bowled over is the new lawyer hired to save her company from going under.   He's even less thrilled to see her than she is him and she isn't thrilled at all.    Dislike turns to hate but there is a thin line between love and hate the saying goes.  A good story, with lots of laughs and great character development.  Story line is pretty true to life, folks only need a bit of info to spread it around and ruin reputations.  of course their b.s. needs to matter to the person being talked about and frankly Liya could give a rat's patootie!  Lots happens and new developments abound.   Good story.   I recommend it to middle schoolers on up.
