The Hating Game Trailer - Good or Bad?

-

The Hating Game is a book I loved so much when I read it. The book was enemies to lovers, Grumpy x  Sunshine, forced proximity, how can I not like it. Josh and Lucy's chemistry was just so explosive and I absolutely wanted to read more of it and I was so excited for the movie but once again people prove that book to movie adaptations are not it. 

The Hating Game trailer dropped a while ago and I needed a lot of time to process that trailer. I've embedded the video here but I am also going to link the trailer at the end so you can also check it out.   


If we talk about casting Lucy Hale as Lucy was excellent casting, Austin Stowell as Josh might not have been the best choice. I don't want to badly criticize Austin, but most of the fandom expected a different Josh. They also kind of butchered josh's entire personality, and I was cringing so hard through the trailer at that. In the book, Josh is so grumpy, and one of Lucy's main aims is to get Josh to smile. The whole hating thing began because Josh hadn't given Lucy a smile, ut in the trailer, Josh is smiling every 2 seconds, and I don't like it at all; it basically means they changed half of Josh's personality. 

They also butchered the Elevator Kiss Scene so badly, and I am so angry for that. Josh was supposed to Initiate the kiss, not Lucy. This pissed me off way more than the josh casting because you are basically changing a big plot of the book. 

Another thing I want to get in on is the fight scenes. Apparently, the fight scenes also got physical in the trailer like what even. In the book, all the fights remain either verbal or happening through pranks, and these fights remain personal and professional enough. But in the trailer, they are fighting amongst everyone, and they are getting physical. That just puts a whole other spin on the HR game. 

The trailer also shows them being all cute and couply like hello this is an enemies to lovers and they were not being cute or couple till the very end even though they have their first kiss very early on. 

In Conclusion, I personally did not like the Hating Game trailer and It did look like a Hallmark Christmas Movie that one watched when they have literally nothing else to do. I really hope that the movie doesn't ruin scenes like the Paintball scene and the scene where Josh takes care of Lucy. I'm still holding out hope but let's see. 

Here's the link to the trailer if you want to see it: The Hating Game Trailer

As you all might know, it's June which mean it's Pride month! 🏳‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month is the month where we celebrate the lives of those people part of the LGBTQ+ community. I read a few new LGBTQ+ books this month, and I've read many from before as well. I read one of the books I am going to mention like 2-3 days ago only, and yes, I liked that book that much for it to make it onto my favourites instantly).  I thought if I can make my bullet journal pride-themed I can also do a blog post on my favourite LGBTQ+ Books! Now this list would not specifically contain only LGBTQ+ romance. It'll have a book that showcases the LGBTQ+ community even though the main plot does not revolve around their romance.  Most of the LGBTQ+ books I have read on Wattpad, and I might be making a recommendation on that soon, but all of the books I am going to mention here are the ones that are actually published books.  1. Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston  "History, huh? Bet we ...

Chain of Gold Book Review ( Spoiler Alert!!)

-
Image
  I know I'm pretty late to do this since the book came out in March, and as of now, it's August, but I am still gonna do it.  The Chain of Gold is the first book in The Last Hours series and is set in Edwardian London and is the next generation story of The Infernal Devices series, which is set in Victorian London.  The book is mostly written from the point of Cordelia Carstairs, who is the female main character. Other main characters include James and Lucie Herondale, Thomas and Christopher Lightwood, Matthew Fairchild, Jesse, Grace Blackthorn, and Alastair Carstairs.  We were first introduced to this era in Tales from Shadowhunter Academy, where Tessa tells us about James and how he can slip in as shadows due to his demonic origins from his mother's side ( Tessa is his mother). We are also told about how Matthew and James become Parabatai.  Then in a few bonus chapters from Cassandra claire before the book's release,k we were told about the relationship of H...

Must Read Classics

        Little Women, Louisa May Alcott T his classic was published by Louisa May Alcott in 2 volumes, one in 1968 and the other in 1969. This story deals with the story of 4 girls Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March. They live with their mother in Massachusetts  in poverty while their father is away for the war. It is a story written about the adventure, mistakes, and experiments of the four girls. I enjoyed reading this because of the fun the girls have and how they discover various aspects of life. Like me, Jo is a little tomboyish and enjoys to write, Meg was the eldest and is beautiful, Amy is still in school, but I find her a little bit dramatic, and Beth is the timid piano player. The March sisters had a neighbor Laurie which made the entire reading more fun with his black eyes and curly black hair. He was adopted by his grandfather and was being tutored by John Brooks to enter Harvard. You will definitely have bipolar moods reading this one. The recent mov...

5 Must-Reads for Teens

1. Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan   This book was my first ever book into the fantasy and teen fiction books. This book is filled with adventures of Demigods and centaurs and cyclopes and also with our sassy and funny protagonist Percy Jackson. This series takes you through the journey of Percy and his friends from stealing Zeus's lightning to holding the sky and going through the labyrinth. If you have already read this, you can read the excellent spin-off series The Heroes of Olympus, which has even more funny and sassy characters. The book is recommended for children above 12 and is like one of the best series that made me laugh and sometimes cry ( if you read the other spin-off, that's The Apollo Trials, no spoilers). But this is one of the best novel series I have ever read. 2. The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins Teens, if you love Liam Hemsworth, you probably have already watched the movies, but you know books are better than films. So this book series is rig...
