The concept behind this book was super intriguing and I couldn't stop reading the book. I thought the character development and plot was excellently written. The dual POV in 1st person POV and the banter between the main male and female characters were perfection.
I would say this is a good book to get someone into reading adult contemporary novels since it's a fun easy read.

If I'd been in that situation, Anna would have disgusted me, disgusted with the wealth and excess. Overall, it was a good book, just more emotional than I was prepared for. It harkened back to the Beautiful Bastard days but with more emotional depth. I wish we'd gotten more into Anna's past and issues as well.

The toxic relationships are between Liam and his family. As well as a bit between Anna and her mom, though that's not nearly as much of the story.mskelley88's review against another edition

The main characters are endearing, and the secondary character, Blair, the sister-in-law, brings plenty of humor to the mix, adding to the book's overall appeal. While not the author's best work, it still meets the mark for an enjoyable read.
That said, the premise of two people in a marriage of convenience living together for two years and knowing this little about each other feels shaky. It's hard to believe she doesn’t even know his first name. However, if you can overlook this setup, the story remains engaging and heartwarming.
In summary, "The Paradise Problem" offers a delightful escape with its blend of romance and humor, making it a worthwhile addition to your reading list.
