The more I read by Christina Lauren, the more I love the books! This one had a fun premise and setting. What is better than being trapped by your fake husband and his crazy family at a tropical island wedding where everyone is watching? It dealt with some heavy themes of wealth, privilege, mental health, family, marriage, and career issues. There were plenty of fun and steamy moments to balance the dark. One of my favorite romances of the year so far!

Can't believe I didn't finish this in two days the first time I borrowed it from Libby, it got repossessed and I had to wait for my hold to come back around.  But yeah, fantastic! :D
