Ethan and Olive were cute but he was just a walking red flag from the start. Defending your cheating womanizer brother? Ew. Olive deserved better from everyone.

I expected more of this book. For me the characters felt flat. And why did they have the plot all the way in the last few chapters! I would rather have the plot a little earlier because the ending felt kinda rushed. The romance was okay i just wasn’t invested in it. So 2.5/5

I like the prompt of the book but idk..
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.

“I can appreciate my body in a bikini and still want to set fire to the patriarchy” - Christina Lauren 🔥 

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 Stars 

This was a surprise for me! I never considered myself a romance reader but I am LOVING chick lit audiobooks in the car at the minute. I’m finding they’re really lifting my mood too! 💕

Was this whole book predictable? Absolutely. Was it lacking depth? Yeah a bit. But I absolutely devoured it. Who doesn’t like a little haters to lovers summer read? ☀️

I enjoyed the first half way better than the second but overall, a funny and lighthearted read. I would recommend Christina Lauren’s writing - can’t wait to try more! 👙
