It takes about half the book for the ice to melt in this slow burn, one bed, forced proximity, fake relationship, contemporary romance. About 75% in, Olive's life gets messy and unfair, but thankfully there is a Happily Ever After!
p.102/25%: Wouldn't a scientist —especially one with a PhD in Biology— say sea star, as starfish is considered an inaccurate name?
p. 358/84%: OMG! Badass move by Ami!

Olive and Ethan find themselves posing as her twin sister Amy and his brother (whose name has completely left my memory) who have just gotten married. Amy and husband (as well as everyone at the wedding, except for Olive and Ethan!) get horrific food poisoning and can’t go on their Hawaiian honeymoon. Enter Olive and Ethan. Who hate each other.
The story follows these two as they try to steer clear of each other while also keeping up appearances as newlyweds to everyone on the island. They run into Olive’s new boss and Ethan’s ex-(almost)fiancée among other unexpected adventures.
Overall, this was an easy and enjoyable read but nothing remarkable.
