3.0

As my first foray into Christina Lauren, I'd consider this a success! Not immediately a new favorite, but I wouldn't shy away from any of their other books.

I was mainly impressed that the heat level suited my tastes nearly exactly; not closed door, but just a couple sentences, without much detail. The final act (and the "Olive working on herself") portion dragged on a bit too long for me, and I lost a little faith in Ethan. But I did like how well-rounded all the characters were and it was overall a decent little romance story.

Do not be misled by the fact I finished this book in two days. I was not a fan. The characters felt very one dimensional and there wasn't anything organic about the relationship or events occuring. The first half made me cringe with awkwardness and the second half left me frustrated. I skimmed the epilogue because I wanted to be done. I will admit though, it made me laugh out loud from time to time in between the bad moments, and that was the most redeeming part of the story. I don't plan to read book 2

This book was everything. I love a good enemies*-to-lovers and fake relationship as much as the next guy, but they went about it in such a way that didn’t feel redundant or entirely cliche. The last couple of chapters especially really hit me right in the feels, and I genuinely can’t wait to reread this.

*Misunderstood enemies, if you will. Also, I was completely fucking gagged that Dane was a dickhead as a plot point, like I would’ve never guessed that and maybe I’m slow because avoiding a trip on Valentine’s Day is insane but hey

Olive and Ethan are so fun together! Their banter is fun and I love how they call each variations of their own names.
It seemed like they had some misconceptions about each other, which caused the misguided notions. They clearly like to bicker and compete with each other. To me they weren’t exactly enemies.
Olive and Ethan remind me of Mia and Nicholas from the movie The Princess Diaries 2 (especially the “I loathe you” and kiss scene!)
The timing of the comedic and dramatic scenes are so on point
I definitely understand why Christina Lauren books are so popular! This one specifically had a lot of charm, romance, humor.
Olive’s family is so supportive and protective of each other.
The epilogue is amazing and I loved it!
The drama between Ami and Dane. OMG. I didn’t see it coming but I’m not surprised either. I immediately got bad vibes from Dane. I think it’s interesting that they were together from the beginning but Olive and Ethan are meant to be.
I didn’t like or understand the obsession with boobs and body parts in this book. It was too repetitive about them. Like we get it, Olive has big boobs and Ethan is attractive. However, I’m not opposed to reading other Christina Lauren books.

*Might change to 4.5 stars

This was my first Christina Lauren book (which I think it is so cool it is two friends co writing!!) after having a couple on my TBR for awhile. Finally read this and it was so fun!! It had some of the best tropes (enemies to more, fake dating/relationship, a vacation, one bed) and it is a perfect read for summer. And for those who maybe don’t like it toooo spicy but still like a little, I think this could fit that. I was honestly expecting more spice tbh! It was there but not as much as other books. 💘🔥

I was kinda surprised by the ending with Dane and Ami tbh. That was pretty sad. :( It was also frustrating when nobody was believing Olive. It also kinda made me have trust issues with Ethan… but I guess the epilogue helped restore it mostly.
