Not my favorite… I think this just isn’t my author… I’m a closed door/ easy to make closed door girly though, so that’s on me. 

Fun read, especially if one likes the marriage of convenience / sharing a space tropes, but the visa storyline is widely unrealistic - suspend disbelief. Several moments got me laughing at loud.
The narrator’s stilted American accent was annoying at times, I wished she had read the entire book with her Irish accent, which sounds way more fluid.

3.5/5 Stars - this was honestly so fun like I can totally see why they are making it into a movie.

Marriage of convenience trope done RIGHT

I hate to say a bad word about my bestie girls book but the third act breakup was PAINFUL & then the ending?? like I need a 50 page epilogue after that.

3.5 ⭐️

Blech. This book sucked, found the main character annoying to be in her head and the love interest was so plain (no personality). I just found the writing at times so fake, like when Holland is listening to Calvin play guitar and she gets all swept up in the music. Somehow I still managed to read the whole thing so..

3.5

Holland Came across as a bit too crazy for me... Her actions made no sense... a bit of a strange read, But i was laughing out loud in the humorous way it was written

I love Christina Lauren

cute cheesy fun

Imagine offering to marry a busker so that he can get a green card, only to find out that he’s been lying to his mother and sister about who you are and that he can’t actually get a green card and needs to get a visa instead, which doesn’t require an American partner. I would be absolutely fuming. Like, it would be on sight. I would fight the fucker in a car park.

Idc how cute the book is, if she’s a Zionist then I’m not putting up with her shit. Will not be reading any of her other books, because tbh they’re fucking ridiculous plot wise and if I want a romance I can find an author who respects the Geneva convention.
