Honestly, there wasn’t much I enjoyed reading about this book. I think the plot was a cute idea, and I felt like I would enjoy it, but I really didn’t. I didn’t really like any of the characters, except Olive occasionally. I didn’t like Ethan as a love interest, I wouldn’t die if I didn’t have him as my love interest. I do think they were cute for each other though, but not the best relationship. I also hated the miscommunication trope with the cheese curds, that was just annoying. I didn’t like how that sparked their hate towards each other. I didn’t like the plot with Dane either. I only liked the actual honeymoon scenes where they did activities. That was it. The ending proposal was also weird and too cheesy. Like just because she reacts a certain way he’s like no I won’t propose she doesn’t want to get married? That was stupid. I did like the idea of grand gesturing for the right person, which he didn’t do for Sophie but did for Olive. It was expected, but cute nonetheless. But the actual grand gesture was weird and not that grand. He wore a shiny shirt and Hawaiian shirt. That’s not a grand gesture, barely even a gesture, it’s just a weird outfit choice. I was so disappointed with this book. It was highly recommended, but I do think it was a bit overrated. I honestly don’t really recommend it.
“And I get it. As much as I hate him . . . I think I’m starting to like us”
“Don’t threaten me with a good time”

A spicy version of a Hallmark movie placed into book form. Overall, a fun read, great for days when one wants to escape reality. Warning: the book does contain some explicit sexual content.

I really liked this enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, there was only one bed romance. It felt like the epitome of the genre, and I liked that the banter continued the whole way through the book.

The whole subplot with Dane and Ami was a nice background story that obviously affected Olive and Ethan, but

it felt a bit overblown in the narrative. It makes no sense that Dane would wait until after the wedding to hit on Olive, especially one she was dating Ethan. Why not earlier in the relationship? It just seemed weird and unnecessary. There were other, better ways to get Olive to decide to share his cheating ways with Ami.

I also don't understand why Olive's boss fired her, but also why she told him the pre-Maui version; why not say that he's her boyfriend?

Overall, very fun with a tiny bit of steam and flirty banter. I love that they don't magically lose their differences and opinions; they deal with their differences and hold their ground.

This book started off slow for me. I wasn't really invested in the story until around chapter 6 when things started picking up. I enjoyed Ethan and Olive's interactions with each other. They really are too cute! I would read this book again just for the

romantic scenes between them.
