Another winner by Christina Lauren, featuring not-quite enemies to lovers with an only-one bed trope. Ethan and Olive are the only two members of a large wedding party who don't get food poisoning, and are convinced to take the honeymoon together, as a vacation. While there, they discover that hate is a passionate emotion that is rather close to love. They clear the air on their history, and discover some secrets being held. Both of these cause problems back home.

While there is a food poisoning subplot, the graphic depictions of vomit and vomiting were way over the top.

Hmmmm so I really enjoyed reading this and would have rated it higher because I usually quite enjoy books with flawed MCs. Buuut the MMC's reactions later kept bugging me. Spoilers below.

The way he responds to the Olive initially thinking Dane was a cheater actually didn't bug me as I was like alright sure he wants to believe in his brother (don't know why since it seems like his brother has been openly shitty but fine some blinders were up). What kept bugging me was his reaction when she said, after his continued probing when she just wanted to go sort her thoughts out alone first, that Dane had propositioned her for sex. Even when she asked him what she could possibly gain from making that up, he just insults her instead. Maybe it was because it made me think of all the women who try to come forward about being harassed and aren't believed. And maybe it was because then he shows up in a Hawaiian shirt while she's working (which like, hello, during your service job? Fuck no that's so stressful) and she caves immediately after having been so rational! Like girl ask to speak privately about this because he really fucked with you. Idk I get that that'd drag the ending but damn I was just thinking this is so fucking weird...

but it's great writing so I stuck around lol

No chemistry, cardboard hero... it irked me but I was not sure why so I checked some other reviews. They confirmed what I suspected, so I am done.

I absolutely loved everything about this book. It was light, funny, and great to follow a book that was hard to read.

I’m usually not one to gravitate towards rom-com’s but this book was recommended by a friend and boy was I pleased. This book was such an enjoyable story that had me giggling like no tomorrow. I loved following along Olive and Ethan’s journey and seeing how their unlikely pairing blossomed on this unexpected vacation!

I enjoyed this book a lot, it was cute and the moments between Olive and Ethan were very cute. The characters had development, even if Olive made me a little bit mad sometimes. The relationship between Olive and Ami was very wholesome and the relationship of the family really represented (as a latinamerican with a big family) how a latinamerican families behave.
