1. It didn’t seem very realistic. Olive running into the CEO of a company that she literally got hired at 5 minutes ago in Maui (they live in Minnesota) was already a stretch. THEN you add in Ethan running into a newly engaged ex on top of that and we’re really grasping at straws here. Let’s say it’s all for the sake of a story. I’ll pretend it’s not unrealistic… but then…
2. Dane. How in the world can one guy be SUCH a tool and there not be any red flags??? I just don’t understand. There’s no way Ami didn’t see any red flags prior to marrying him. Like he was able to put on that much of an act with her? So much so that she was willing to believe him over her own sister? I don’t buy it.
All that aside, when I just pretend those things don’t bother me, the story was cute and I did find myself wanting to keep reading. Also the entire paintball scene commentary was hilarious. I legit laughed out loud.

also the mention of olive loving her body and her “curves” is so nice to hear and made me feel much better because even though her curves are probably much more flattering, it made me relate to a character more then others when they’re described as “skinny” and fitting the beauty stand so knowing that this curvy book character likes her body and doesn’t want to change it like most of them do is amazing to read about.
perfect book for holiday ngl <3

I guess they are kinda cute. Didn't like a lot of the things that happened though. (Most of my other thoughts are spoilery
I hate how the main character is CONSTANTLY talking about how "unlucky" she is and how perfet her sister is and that she just can't help it .... She is complaining so much and I think she would just be such a uncomfortable person to be around.
I don't like the "it was all just a misunderstanding" trope, I HATE it when people who tell the truth are not believed and I don't especially love it when people constantly lie "because they have no other choice".
I don't think calling someone by a wrong name multiple times as a joke is cute.
Also I hate he didn't believe her it makes me so angry and she forgave him way to easily.
The honeymoon was cute but also quite a trainwrack. I don't think I could date someone who supports their cheating brother.
There were some sweet scenes but all in all it was ruined for me by their siblings relationship. It had such a big impact on theirs.
