Olivia's personality is quirky with a side of clumsy. Or maybe the other way around? She's a mess and a lot of it is self inflicted. She comes across as entitled and immature at times. Colin's personality is supposed to be "rich jerk" but we don't see much of that. They have some solid banter but outside of that the communication completely breaks down in a pretty childish way. Colin is not perfect by any means, but Olivia makes some completely baseless assumptions several times, even after getting to know him. Both characters have rather poor relationships with their families that I wish had been delved into more. Just some downer scenes that didn't add anything to the story. Spice was short of what you might expect given some of the early wrong number texts. The resolution was rushed and unearned.

The main character was an absolute disaster, but this was overall fun and tropey and the banter is great!

This book got me out of my reading slump, and the author hooked me one the book after two pages. Beat Beach Read by Emily Henry on my lift of favorite Rom-Coms.

super steamy at random times. But her job stuff is very cool and otherwise a cute enough romance.

The characters in this were amazing! Yes, Liv could come across as a bit rude at times, in terms of how she treated Colin’s apartment, but she was hilarious. I loved her and found her to be rather endearing and would love a friend like her. There would never be a dull moment. As for Colin, I adored him. I loved every interaction between him and Liv whether it was their hilarious back and forth remarks or the romantic/lust scenes. My heart went every time he called her Marshall or sunshine.
I also loved all the interactions with the secondary characters - Liv and Sara, Liv & Jack, Colin and Jill and Colin and Jack. Even though the book didn’t need it, I would have loved to have seen more of those relationships.
The storyline was a classic romcom and I could not get enough! I loved how it played out. The humour was just perfect! It’s my kind of humour and exactly how I would be with a partner in terms of the back and forth banter. I think I may have been 2 pages in before I started laughing.
