Every time I re-read it I expect to like it less, but I just like it more and more and more every time. This book is my life, y’all. Re-read 10/31/17: Was feeling a little gloomy so I decided to re-read this book for the 4th time this year and, again, it did NOT disappoint. This book is my everything. I can’t. Re-read 7/16/17: Yep, I did just read this for the third time this year. That's how much I fucking love this story. Lucinda and Josh are just the cutest and this book slays me every time. Sa-woon. Re-read 1/28/17: Yes, my re-read of this book happened only a few weeks after completing my original read because I JUST COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. This book is adorable and phenomenal. I will say however, this re-read was done mostly via audiobook and I will say I didn't enjoy it as much that way as I did by just reading the physical book. I feel like some of the tones and inflections that narrator uses don't quite match up with the Josh/Lucinda in my head. But other than that FLAWLESS AND ADORABLE. I adore this little book.Original read 1/10/17: Fucking CUTE. OH MY GOD. Editing to add that while I do read a lot of romance, I rarely take any chick lit/romance seriously. THIS ONE, however, got right under my skin. I adored it. I love it in a similar way to how I love Attachments. So stinking cute.

reread to renew my vows because it has been way too long. _______________________________if i could marry a book and spend the rest of my life with it, it would be this one. this makes me happy on so many levels.i promise to have and hold this book (often taking it off the bookshelf and flipping through it pages), from this day forward, for better or worse (when other books may tempt me or try to lead me astray), for richer or poorer (when i can afford new books, i will reread this first), i promise to love and cherish (it will always have a 5 stars rating), till death do us part. gosh, this book makes me so cheesy and i dont even care. im in an insanely good mood and nothing could tear the silly smile this story gave me off my face. this is romance at it finest and im putting it up on a pedestal, where it belongs. ↠ 5 stars

I stopped eating meat and dairy last week.

5 stars!!! What did I love about The Hating Game? Everything. I loved everything about this book. There is nothing better than finishing a book by an author you’ve never read and having this flying high feeling. I feel freaking giddy right now. I listened to the audio and I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. I got asked why I was in such a good mood more than once over the few days I listened to it. That, my friends, is an epic book! What do you do when you’re the nice girl at the office who has an evil nemesis? I guess you just deal with it, and Lucy Hutton has had to deal with this for far too long. Joshua Templeman is the bane of her existence. They share an office together and it’s torture for her- but what would she do without Josh and their hating game? I should mention that the ultimate aim of all our games is to make the other smile, or cry. It’s something like that. I’ll know when I win.I type my password: IHATEJOSHUA4EV@. My previous passwords have all been variations on how much I hate Joshua. For ever.We each keep a log on the other. I can only assume he does; he seems to remember all of my transgressions. Mine is a password-protected document hidden on my personal drive and it journals all the shit that has ever gone down between Joshua Templeman and me. We have each complained to HR four times over this past year. He’s received a verbal and written warning about the nickname he has for me. I’ve received two warnings; one for verbal abuse and for a juvenile prank that got out of hand. I’m not proud. You see what I mean? There is not much I love more than an epic hate-love romance/office romance. And this one is on the top of the favorites list. It’s FUN and ENTERTAINING and HILARIOUS! Joshua and Lucy are quite the pair. When they find out that they are both gunning for the same job promotion, things get even worse between them. The tension between them is at an all time high. The emotions are running like crazy and it leaves Lucy more confused than ever. Lucy was pretty dang perfect. She narrated the story (I listened to the audio) and it was fantastic. She is wonderful. Such an entertaining heroine. And don’t even get me started on Joshua. I hated him at the start, but that didn’t come close to comparing with how much I loved him by the end! “Stop calling me Shortcake.”“Watching you pretend to hate that nickname is the best part of my day.” I was shocked that this was a debut novel. It didn’t read like a debut at all. I will be jumping to read anything else this author writes. I’m sorry that this review is a little excitable and all over the place with lots of quotes and such, but I’m so excited about this book and just gushing all over the place! If you’re a fan of love/hate troupes, love a good asshole hero and strong/fun heroine, READ THIS BOOK! Highly recommended!

This is somehow a magical blend of adult Sarra Manning + Sarah Mayberry + Jennifer Crusie. It's funny and sharp and serious, with seething workplace rivalry and career drama coupled with crazy great chemistry and delicious banter. It also has unbelievably sweet and tender moments (view spoiler)[one of my favorite parts is them simply holding hands (hide spoiler)], though you'll easily laugh a minute after that! It captures that weird obsessive behavior you can't help when you first fall in love, and also convinces you that after a hard-won relationship, these two won't ever stop being endearingly, ridiculously fussy over each other. Hate-to-love relationships are so fun when they're done well, and this is the best one I've read, in no small part because the "hate" part is pretty convincing in the beginning. It hits all the tropes and scenarios you've read before, but the way they're done here is just irresistible. Katy's review also talks a lot about the heroine's feelings of loneliness and failure, as well as the way a big argument between them is resolved: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... I feel so much affection for them both--it's one of those things where you come out so pleased that they found each other. In short, it's basically everything you could possibly want out of a romance, with the added benefit of having so many cute and quirky details in it. I felt giddy with happiness reading this book, and I kept trying to prolong the experience because I know it's the author's only book...so far! I can't wait until the next one.

3.75*I really wasn’t sure about this up until the end but once I got there I was squeaaaaaaling

Normally I hate chick-lity romance, but this is one of those fantastic exceptions that makes me want to reconsider my usual reluctance to read this genre.In fact, I loved it so much I started to wonder:Apparently, I'm really late to The Hating Game party. Did my friends just not tell me about this one, or did this come out while I was undergoing all that laser hair removal? Dark times, dark times...At any rate, I ran across this in my ongoing quest to find funny romances that make my heart go pitty-pat. And nothing, nothing, makes my heart pitty-pat as hard as a couple who start out with a mutual disgust for each other.Well, these two definitely had the loathing thing down pat. It. Was. Hysterical.The lengths that they went to just to make sure that they managed to get under the other's skin and crawl around on a daily basis? Perfection! By the end, there was no real reason for it other than stubborn pride, but did they let that stop them?No. No, they did not.But the thing that made this one special (to me) was that the story and the characters felt complete. They had families, hobbies, and issues that were separate from this thing that was growing between them. And this may sound odd, but my favorite thing about this book was the fact that Joshua was obsessive about diet and exercise. He was ripped because *gasp* he worked really hard at it on a daily basis. So many books/movies make it seem like the guy just has magical washboard abs that ripple in the sunlight, while he chows down on a fatty steak and washes it down with a milkshake. Bullshit.Men don't wake up looking sexy, they've gotta work at it as much as we ladies do.*cough*Maybe more...?Anyway, I'm not sure what to say about this that hasn't already been said. If you're looking for a fantastic romance novel that will keep you smiling throughout, this is the book for you.Audiobook re-read 2021Eh. Ok, so this is the second time I've been disappointed by a contemporary romance audiobook that I loved when I read it.The book was read by Katie Schorr and it's not that she did a bad job, it's just that I liked the voice in my head better.This time around I will admit that the she doesn't realize he loves her stuff at the end seemed far more annoying. It was obvious that he cared about her and there was absolutely no reason for her to freak out. Like...none.And while I realize there needs to be some sort of will-they-won't-they tension, I would appreciate it if the author put a little more thought into it than she did this time around.This was still a really fun enemies-to-lovers story that I would recommend to any fan of contemporary romance.

4.75/5 ⭐Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺 I’ve been debating so hard on rating this book because I am really not into chick-lit novels (like, almost at all) and I feel conflicted every time I have to rate one, even though I read the bloody book on my own free will.But, Jesus, I’m busted now, so what’s the point in hiding behind a finger?I enjoyed this so fucking much that I just can’t deny it.I don’t know what’s gotten into me one day, I woke up normally, had an online course that I almost fell asleep to, then had some breakfast and as I was drinking my coffee I was like Hm, I think I might read something romance-y.And guess what? The most romance-y novel I found agreeable was a book with the title The Hating Game. So, yeah, you got me. I’m a hopeless romantic, what can I say…But lemme tell you something. That cartoon-y cover with the crooked letters and funny colours hid behind it some very funny and also very sexy action that I just…enjoyed…much. As one part of my brain was asking WTF is wrong with you? the other part was like Read, read, read, I know you’re curious to see what are they gonna do next!I was torn between the two, but this is indeed a pretty accurate explanation of what was ratting in my head during this book.At this point, I might start to enjoy reading funny, sexy books, who knows? It is ridiculously easy to read, actually.I mean, I finished it in two days and a half so I think that’s my new personal record. It’s been that enjoyable.I have this thing for hate-to-love relationships that I never seem to get over. Why is this my favourite kind of falling in love? No one knows, not even the divinities above us. The idea is that yes this was about to be good. And it actually was and it actually did not disappoint me.It was obvious from the start that Lucy was going to be the goody-two-shoes, sunshine-y girl who does everything with energy and enthusiasm and is addicted to the fact that everyone must love her and Josh was the mean fancy-ass jerk that was going to mess with her constantly and she was going to catch on fire because he was the only person who seemed to not like her.Honestly, after all that initial cliché, everything was bomb. The line exchange was always witty, the feelings were pretty accurate in their confusion and the falling in love was as delicious as a strawberry.Everything that happened in this book was either extremely cute or extremely sexually tense and I loved that. I think this might be the first rom-com novel I consider re-reading one day. It was precious.What I learned from this book though is that:- First impressions will not always be as we expect them to be because not everyone is the same. First impressions are one-of-a-kind experiences that have different impacts on different persons;- Don’t judge a book by its cover, no one knows for sure what exactly is going on between the pages;- Even though love and hate are polar opposites, there is this excruciatingly thin line between them and they can be easily mistaking for each other;- Learn how to fall in love with everything.With all this being said, The Hating Game made me feel very happy while reading it so that is why I am going to reward it. I am glad I gave it a shot.Book-styled

Heartwarming (adj.):Causing pleasant feelings of happiness (and silly, stupid tears you can't stop). By all means, it was not a sad book. On the contrary, The Hating Game was a funny, sweet, adorable, intoxicating office romance about two sworn enemies that fell in love. And I'm crying because it filled me with so much joy, and hope and love my body can barely contain! “Both love and hate are mirror versions of the same game-and you have to win. Why? Your heart and your ego.” Josh is Lucy's nemesis. They work together while they plot each other's murder. They play juvenile games, they keep filing complaints to Human Resources, and they make each other miserable. Their competition is tough, and with a promotion on the horizon things escalate quickly. But after one mind-blowing elevator kiss, and some unexpected kindness from Josh, Lucy starts to wonder whether beneath his cold and cruel behavior exists a Nice Guy after all, with the potential to break her heart. The line between love and hate was never so blurry. “No one can kiss me like you do.” Dear Sally Thorne, I'm yours.I can't get rid of this ridiculously wide grin on my face, I'm one step from looking like Joker. And then I remember all those moving and sweet moments and I start crying, and people wonder who murdered my cat. I don't have a cat.Josh and Lucy's story tugged at my heartstrings in an unexpected way. They were two characters beautifully crafted, with their flaws and insecurities. Lucy was always sociable and charming, she wanted people to like her but in the end, she was lonely. Josh was a clinical asshole that made everyone tremble, and tiny Lucy was the only one that stood up to him. Little did she know how shy and caring he was. “Shortcake.” “Stop calling me Shortcake.” “Watching you pretend to hate that nickname is the best part of my day.” Hilarious banters, crackling tension, tenderness and passion, The Hating Game has everything you could ask for from a romance novel. Every single touch spoke straight to my heart, and made my blood warm and my head dizzy! There were times I forgot how to breathe, and times I couldn't help but sigh. Josh is such a dreamy guy, yummilicious and sexy and so, so swoonworthy! While I would have liked a few chapters from Josh's POV, I enjoyed Lucy's narrative so much! She was such a sweet and funny and adorable person, and you could understand her reservations and her fears!I'm so in love. “What are you imagining? Your expression is filthy.”“Strangling you. Bare hands.” “So that’s your kink.” “Only where you’re concerned.” If this sappy review didn't convince you to read this little gem, please do check Arianna's review! ❤︎

I just reread this book for a third time, it's still an all time favorite. See my reaction here: https://youtu.be/2OknqgHLvIEI just finished reading this book for the second time and aklsjdlakjsa. It was SO GOOD. Lucy and Josh are literally the cutest and I listened to the audiobook this time (which was absolutely fantastic by the way) and ALKSJDLKAJS. THIS STORY IS SO CUTE. I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading and I love their witty banter and the fact that they work in publishing together and just EVERYTHING about this book makes me happy. I think I'm going to plan to reread this every couple of years, it's just so great! Original Review:This book is so cute. It's the perfect combination of sexy and cute and fun. This book is like a sexier version of Attachments by Rainbow Rowell, which is one of my all time favorite books. THANK YOU to Stephanie for recommending this book to me, I freaking loved it. This book is light and fluffy and it's the perfect romantic comedy! I kept picturing Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as the leads in this for some reason (probably because I love their chemistry and I could see them playing these characters in a movie version of this.)This book follows Lucy and Josh, two people working for a book publishing company who share an office and can't stand each other. They hate each other, and every time they are in a room together they bicker and pick fights and it's extremely entertaining. One of them is going to get promoted to become the boss of the other, which only motivates them to compete and hate each other more. But the sexual tension between these characters is off the charts, and I loved watching their romance develop and grow over time. I thought the office romance might be cheesy, but it was the cutest fucking thing ever. I loved all the scenes that took place in the office, and how Lucy had mesmerized the colors of all of Josh's work shirts. The office decides to go paint-balling in an effort for all the employees to get to know each other better and it's so entertaining and fun to read about.Of course, this book did have a few cheesy moments, but I didn't even care because I adored these two characters so much. I love that Lucy is short and tiny and nice to everyone (maybe too nice sometimes, I can relate to this) and Josh is tall and huge and he's a dick most of the time. Josh isn't the kind of asshole that I can't stand though, he's more playful about it and I absolutely adore him. The second half of this book had some predictable moments (view spoiler)[I had predicted that Josh had previously dated his brothers bride as soon as he started acting weird at the wedding. I don't know why, I just got a feeling. But I think this was meant to be shocking for the reader to discover but I had seen it coming. (hide spoiler)] but that didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book. I especially loved those scenes towards the end when (view spoiler)[Lucy is sitting at the table with Josh's family and all hell breaks loose and Josh's Dad is going off on how Josh should've been a doctor and all this shit, and Lucy went off on him and completely shut him the hell up. It was beautiful to see her defend him like that. I knew she was in love with him after she did that and it was amazing. (hide spoiler)] I love the way this author described Josh, I was completely head over heels for him. "The rounded caps of muscle on his shoulders balance on smoothly curving biceps. His skin glows with health: honey gold, flawless. The deep lines of his collarbones and hips are an impressive frame. In between a series of individual muscles, each representing a goal set and box ticked. Flat, square pectorals with rounded edges. The skin of his stomach pulls tight across the kind of muscles I usually stare at during Olympics swimming finals. His hips have ridges that point toward his groin, obscured in suit pants." Like DAMN. I was swooning. (view spoiler)[I loved their first kiss in the elevator. It was so unexpected and intense and DAMN. That was one of the hottest first kisses I've ever read in a book. I love how Josh told her to go on a date with Danny and kiss him but if he couldn't kiss her as well as he could, then she can't kiss him again. I love when Lucy got sick after paint ball and Josh had to come take care of her in her apartment as she threw up and was sick for a whole weekend. In exchange she promised to be his date to his brothers wedding. I love the back story of Josh's family wanting him to become a doctor and his Father being disappointed in him no matter what he did. My heart hurt for Josh during all those scenes with his Father. I love how Lucy would sneak to Josh's apartment at night after work and I love how Josh's bedroom was painted a blue-ish girly color. I appreciated how Josh wanted to take things slow with her and not have sex right away (and I know it's because in the past he mentioned his old girlfriend only wanted him for his body which is ridiculous). When they finally had their first sex scene right after the wedding it was sexy and intense and worth the wait. I loved it, they are so cute. I also loved the shower scene in the morning in the hotel. You can tell Josh really loves her by the way he talks to her, it's so sweet. And that scene where Lucy goes off on Josh's Dad at the breakfast table was AMAZING. I was speechless just like all the characters were. I'm so happy she defended him. In the end I'm happy Josh resigned before he could ever be offered the boss position because he knew this job was Lucy's dream and it didn't mean that much to him. (hide spoiler)] This author balances comedy and romance so well, I CAN'T BELIEVE this is her debut novel. It's so fucking good. I will read anything she writes in the future. If you enjoy romance in general, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. It's too cute to pass up.["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

”Watching you pretend to hate the nickname is the best part of my day”. ¡Por fin leí uno de los libros que más hype tiene en el mundo lector! ¡Y no me decepcionó! De hecho, amé The Hating Game. Fue ese romance de enemies to lovers gracioso y sin muchas pretensiones que necesitaba en mi vida. En esta historia nos encontramos con Lucy y Josh. Ambos trabajan como asistentes ejecutivos de los CEOs de una gran editorial que surgió tras la fusión de dos más pequeñas. Como los dos vienen de editoriales diferentes y no podrían ser más opuestos, se odian. Mientras Lucy es una persona extrovertida, risueña y colorida, Josh es un tipo serio, súper enfocado en el trabajo y frío. La relación laboral que tienen es tan tensa, que Recursos Humanos ha tenido que intervenir varias veces. Ahora, todo empieza a escalar cuando los CEOs anuncian que van a crear un nuevo puesto, el de COO, y les dicen a Lucy y a Josh que ambos son candidatos para él. Todo se sale de control a partir de ese momento, pues los dos saben que si uno de ellos obtiene el puesto de COO, se volverá el jefe del otro y le hará la vida aún más imposible. Pero con estas tensiones del trabajo, también van a surgir otro tipo de dinámicas entre ellos que les van a hacer replantearse el odio que sienten mutuamente. Les juro que desde hace muchísimo tiempo un libro no me divertía tanto. Leer todas las peleas, discusiones y comentarios sarcásticos de Lucy y Josh me daba vida. Y es que su relación era tan tormentosa que, evidentemente, en el fondo estaban loquísimos el uno por el otro. Adoré ver cómo fue cambiando la dinámica entre los dos, cómo al principio creían que lo que los movía era lujuria y poco más y cómo, eventualmente, empezaron a entender que el odio que sentían era solo la manera que tenían de enmascarar la certeza de que eran perfectos como pareja. Si bien este no es el libro más hot and steamy que he leído en la vida, tuvo sus momentos espectaculares. Hola, ascensor. Y, más que eso, me fascinaron las escenas en las que se notaba cómo las defensas de los dos iban bajando y se acercaban más al otro. Todo lo que sucede cuando Lucy está enferma, los momentos en el campo de paintball y la debacle entera de la boda del hermano de Josh… ¡muy fan de todo eso! Además, si me conocen, saben que yo me muero por los personajes como Josh que, en la superficie, parecen súper fríos y calculadores, pero que, en el fondo, son un unicornio de peluche muy abrazable. De verdad, necesito un Josh en mi vida, sobre todo porque también es obscenamente alto y eso me parece muy sexy, jajaja. Perdón por ser así. En definitiva, si quieren un libro fresco, divertido, que los haga reír, que se lea súper rápido y que los haga creer en el amor así sea por cinco minutos, tienen que leer The Hating Game.

"What are you imagining? Your expression is filthy.""Strangling you. Bare hands." I can barely get the words out. I'm huskier than a phone-sex operator after a double shift."So that's your kink." His eyes are going dark.Oh, boy did I love those two!! XDI mean who wouldn’t enjoy reading banter like that? It was amazing and I couldn’t wait to read more about them! I swear their conversations were addicting and I loved the way Lucy narrated the story. I mean seriously! THAT GIRL!!! *lol* “I’m huskier than a phone-sex operator after a double shift”!!!! Good grief!!! Haha! It were sentences like that which immediately caused me to love this book! XD Well, Lucinda’s narration AND the conversations between her and Josh!They were like cat and mouse and I loved it!!! Actually I FREAKING LIVED FOR IT! !!!

4.5 STARSI've been seeing The Hating Game plastered across my Goodreads feed for well over a year now and avoided it solely due to my phase of being constantly disappointed by the majorly hyped books. I could just about slap myself silly for pushing this aside for so many months, because it was worth the hype and much more. While a little slow in the first few chapters, the story quickly takes off once the scene is set and I'm forced to admit something-I have a serious obsession with love to hate tropes. You heard me, I'm a walking, talking cliche and I'm not ashamed to admit it.There's not really much to go into regarding the plot here, as you pretty much get the details you need from the synopsis, but this book is just what it sounds like, a book all about two people concentrating on winning "The Hating Game", a past time where they spend every free moment plotting on how to sabotage one another. Lucy and Joshua work together for a publishing house that consists of a merger between two very different CEOs, and as Lucy and Josh find themselves up for the same promotion, they are forced to declare all out war, and as the tension builds they discover that maybe they have been wrong about each other all along.I've seen some reviews that claim they would have enjoyed this more if the "hating" stage had lasted longer, but IMO it was the perfect length of time. The fact that this book wasn't just sexy, but also hilarious? That was a huge bonus. Thorne's writing made me feel like I'd found a bosom buddy in my bizarre sense of humor. I also didn't realize this book would be more than a piece of fluffy goodness... You know, the ones that are wholly enjoyable but completely forgettable? Not this one. I was completely taken with the fact that the author chose to have her characters wrestle with some below surface, realistic issues. By the end of this book I was ready to fight anyone who hurt my precious pumpkin Joshua Templeman. The Hating Game was a juicy delight; the characters were larger than life and the plot was unique while maintaining a semblance of comfort and reliability. If you have been living under a rock (like me) and haven't managed to move this up your TBR yet, go ahead and block out your weekend to devour this baby. I'm so glad I've decided to focus on expanding my reading to cover a wider variety of genres this year; I can finally stop kicking myself for missing this one and join in the fandom awaiting Thorne's next novel. Highly recommended for a feel good, rip-roaring time! Buddy read with my partner in crime Sam @ CluesAndReviews

AMAZING NEWS!!!!!!!!! The Hating Game is coming to the big screen! https://deadline.com/2018/07/the-simp... MY DREAM CAST 😍 I didn't love this. No. I need a stronger word than love. Obsessed? Infatuated? Whatever, take your pick. But Oh My Joshua, I am crazy for everything about this book. The writing, the humor, the lust, the sexual tension, the emotion, the slow delicious burn. This is probably the best enemies to lovers story I have ever read.Lucy Hutton and Josh Templeman work together at Gamin Publishing and Bexley Books and they have hated each other from the moment they met. They spend their days trying to out do and frustrate the other, play these ridiculous games (but I must say the Kissing Game was my favorite one), and their ultimate goal is to basically make the other cry. They are total opposites - Lucy is lovable, hysterical, and a people pleaser. Josh is a smart ass, grumpy, and cynical. "So painting your nails tonight, desperately alone?" Lucky guess on his part?"Yes. Masturbating and crying into your pillow, Doctor Joshua?" He looks at the top button of my shirt. "Yes. And don't call me that." Reading about these two fight? I was in TEARS. This was HYSTERICAL. “What are you imagining? Your expression is filthy.”“Strangling you. Bare hands.” I can barely get the words out. I’m huskier than a phone-sex operator after a double shift. But reading about these two falling in love? My heart almost couldn't take it. “All I want to do is kiss you until I fall asleep. I want to slide in between your sheets, and find out what goes on inside your head, and underneath your clothes. I want to make a fool of myself over you.”"The first smile Joshua's ever had in my presence is pressed against my lips.""I love him so much it's like a thread piercing me. Punching holes. Dragging through. Stitching love into me. I'll never be able to untangle myself from this feeling. The color of love is surely this robin's-egg blue." And my favorite line of all the lines: "I fucking love your red." Joshua snuggling? I swoon. Joshua being romantic? I die. But when Joshua gets jealous? For the love of all that is holy, I can't deal. Joshua Templeman is a GOD and I love him unlike anyone or anything. The end. There is no greater feeling than picking up a book and not expecting it to live up to the hype, only to find it does. IT SO DOES.If I could give this book 5 million stars I would. If I could shout from every rooftop TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND READ THIS RIGHT THIS SECOND I would. Do yourself a favor and read this phenomenal debut novel! "See,” he says into my mouth. “I don’t hate you, Lucy.” The Hating Game is out now! | http://amzn.to/2edzVuc Find Me On:Instagram ❤ FB Page ❤ FB Blog ❤ Blog
