While there is a food poisoning subplot, the graphic depictions of vomit and vomiting were way over the top.

There is plenty of banter and back and forth in this book. This is a humorous and witty read. There is plenty of symbolism and also the use of metaphors in this novel. The disagreement between Ethan and Olive was a pretty significant event in the book, but seemed to be resolved fairly easily near the end of the novel. No spoilers here, you will just have to read the book if you want to know.
I like a happy ending and HEA in my romance and rom-com genre reads. I did get satisfaction in the ending in terms of Ami and Dane's relationship and also with Ethan and Olive. I enjoyed the epilogue at the end which leads into the audiobook of the The Honeymoon Crashers which I have borrowed from the library for listening.
3.75/5

I also kind of hated how
Overall I’d recommend it as a light beginner rom-com as it’s fade to black with enough basic tropes but I won’t be keeping my copy.

I adored the jabs at each other, the intentionally saying the wrong names. The Harry Potter references. The cute aw moments that we all saw coming.
My only issue with this book is it was so predictable I was able to put it down for a month and resume without the urge to read what was going to happen next. I would’ve been content never finishing. But it was a good book.

I was mainly impressed that the heat level suited my tastes nearly exactly; not closed door, but just a couple sentences, without much detail. The final act (and the "Olive working on herself") portion dragged on a bit too long for me, and I lost a little faith in Ethan. But I did like how well-rounded all the characters were and it was overall a decent little romance story.
