I Hate Nothing About You Review: Romance Book With Humor and Heart

 



Title: I Hate Nothing About You by Ella Sparkle 

Genre: Romance, Adult Fiction

Expected: September 8, 2026

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)



Thank you to Hawthorn & Aster for this gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review.

In I Hate Nothing About You, we meet Cassie, a real estate agent who’s starting therapy because she's carrying a heavy fear: everyone who loves her will eventually leave. That hurt got way worse when her ex Finn left for Australia and never came back. To protect herself, she sticks to one strict rule: only two dates, no commitment, and definitely no “love” word. But then comes Mike: handsome, charming, and such a sweet “boy next door” type. He’s not her usual type, but she can’t help liking him anyway.

Cassie finds it so hard to open up because love has always meant pain for her. In this story, we get to see her work through all that trauma and insecurity through her therapy talks, and it feels really real. Mike is such a great guy. Kind, respectful, and totally swoon-worthy. He’s patient with her, even when she tries to push him away or hide how she’s feeling.

Ella Sparkle’s writing is really fun and easy to read. She doesn’t skip the messy parts, as we can see Cassie at her best and worst, and she adds so much humor that you’ll be laughing out loud. The story balances deep feelings with light moments perfectly. I loved watching Cassie grow and seeing exactly why she acted the way she did.

This book has the perfect mix of sweetness and comedy. It also sends such a good message: communication is everything in relationships. Overall, it’s such a warm, lovely read. Definitely recommend it if you want something funny, heartfelt, and swoony.
