“This romcom's plot is exciting with some deep, impactful issues and is filled with so much love, kindness, and happiness. It’s situated in the most gorgeous tropical environment! It is captivating through its entirety. I LOVED Katie and Hutch's journey!! Katie starts a new job she’s not quite qualified for, which adds to its hilarity. Hutch’s selflessness and heroism are very admirable. This is a definite must-read! ”

“Immersive and ideal romance novel for summer. Love all around in this book. Katie learns to face fears in love, with her body, and with her career. It felt real. I knew every character. ”

“The Love Haters is pure joy from Katherine Center as expected! This would be a fun beach or pool read as it is quick and easy to read. That being said, in true Katherine Center fashion, the book is so much more than a summery rom-com! This is an exploration into self-love and healing. KC has no issues writing characters who develop beautifully. Also, we allll will want a Hutch after reading this. 😍”

“An absolute laugh-out-loud good time—I could not stop listening to this one! When life feels like it’s falling apart, why not take a job that puts you in the water (even if you can’t swim) alongside a broody hot hero with some serious family baggage tied to your boss? Katie and Hutch were perfection—their banter was sharp, funny, and full of heart. Every single character in this book brought something special, from the legendary Aunt Rue (can she be my aunt, too?) to the adorable Great Dane who totally stole my heart. This story was filled with warmth, wit, and just the right amount of swoon. It was everything I love about a Katherine Center book and more!”

“I loved getting to know all of the characters! My opinions about some of them were not solidified until the very end. Katherine did a wonderful job of weaving all of their storylines and revealing bits and pieces at the perfect time!”

“This is now my favorite book by Katherine Center. Hutch is the dream book boyfriend and Margot is a hot mess. While their love story drew me in, it was Kate’s growth and epiphany about herself that made this book a great read for me. ”

“Filled with vibrant colors and a sense of fun, this new Katherine Center book presents an adorable love story featuring Katie (our chromophobic heroine) and Hutch (the titular Love Hater). In this story, Katie does find love, but more importantly, she learns to love herself and how to let go—both in life and in swimming! Throughout her journey, Katie overcomes her fears and embraces new beginnings, all while navigating the challenges posed by a clumsy pup and her own anxieties.”

“Once again Katherine Center delivers a sweet, funny, I can't stop listening audiobook experience. I love her stories because I always learn a little something. This time it was about rescue swimmers off the coast of the Florida Keys. ”

“Another great Katherine Center book!! I always love Katherine’s storytelling, which is only enhanced by the wonderful narrating skills of Patti Murin! I loved the very real talk of body image and the relationships we have with ourselves. Katherine Center always makes me laugh, shed a tear or two, and be inspired to be a positive force in this world. This book was no exception! Highly recommend for a book to give you all the good feels. ”
