The Hating Game Audiobook by Sally Thorne
The Hating Game is the enemies-to-lovers workplace romance that set the modern bar: Lucy and Joshua are executive assistants who claim to despise each other, and the slow detonation of all that pent-up loathing into something else entirely is as fun and swoony as the genre gets.
Why the audiobook wins
Enemies-to-lovers lives and dies on comic timing, and Katie Schorr has it in spades — her Lucy is breathless and competitive in exactly the right register, and she gives Joshua's clipped, deadpan lines a dryness that makes the office sparring land like actual banter rather than romance-novel shorthand. You can hear the staring contests.
This is a workplace romance that runs almost entirely on dialogue — two people needling each other across facing desks — which makes it one of the genre's best matches for a single-narrator audio performance. Schorr voices both Lucy and Joshua distinctly enough that the will-they-won't-they push and pull never gets muddled, even at full speed.
At just over twelve hours, it's a binge-friendly listen for anyone who wants the enemies-to-lovers genre played at full commitment, and one Audible credit covers the whole slow-burn arc, staring contests included.
