Sally Thorne

Sally Thorne lives in Canberra, Australia and spends her days writing, reading, drinking cups of tea and obeying the every whim of Delia the Pug. She lives with her husband in a house filled with vintage toys, too many cushions and a haunted dollhouse, which has it's own Instagram (@blackthornemanor).

Her beautiful paint Quarter Horse, Louie, passed on 7 November 2021 from an illness, and is dearly missed every day.

She is also the USA Today bestselling author of the office rom-com THE HATING GAME (2016). It is her debut novel that has sold in over twenty-five countries and has been adapted into a major motion picture starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, directed by Peter Hutchings.

THE HATING GAME is a USA Today bestseller that was named in the top 20 romance novels of 2016 by the Washington Post, #7 on Oprah Magazine's Top Romance Novels of all time (2019), and was a top ten finalist in the Goodreads Choice Awards romance category. It has been cited as a book that has reinvigorated the romantic comedy genre.^[C1]
