I listened to this as audiobook as this has been on my TBR for quite some time. I'm not a big fan of romance as a genre, but this one was definitely entertaining. More than the actual romance plot, I enjoyed first the main couples constant bickering and then their snarky comments with each other. In the end it really seems to be a (close to) perfect and balanced relationship with all its ups and downs. The author has done a great job and I was trying to keep from laughing as I was mostly listening to this on public spaces. 😁 I succeeded poorly though.

Some parts really dragged, some were hilarious, mostly a joy to read towards the end but I was seriously tempted to drop it for better books during the first half. Idk I feel this book could be 300 pages long rather than 400.
Some themes they touched were rather well made – I'm not saying extremely well:
- how much luck determines us as a person and how self-made a person could claim to be
- self-fulfilng prophecies about ourselves – how Olive framed herself as unlucky and therefore had to play it safe, and how she framed Ethan's character too
- the importance of trust and what being betrayed by someone you love can do to you
- some good highlights on the capability of growth, anxiety, and how you deserve better than douchebags for your romantic partner. Olive's actions towards the end were very validating for women, which probably explains how popular this book was on TikTok.
- Hawaii, because everyone loves Hawaii.

The last 20% of the book pissed me off. The male MC is an idiot (supportive of lying and cheating and victim blaming) and them staying together is mind boggling. It was like reading a horror novel by the end.
