I eat up a fake marriage/fake relationship love story every time. Bonus points if the love story takes place on vacation. Anna is so lovable and amazing and so real. I’m so proud of West (which is better than Liam, sorry), their love story was amazing and I’m a sucker for family and kids so all the other characters were phenomenally and wow I’ve never seen a father be such a terrible fucking person in my goddamn life. Actually no, the father from Twisted Love would like a word. But wow!

Anyway, to be more concise, I really enjoyed this book. After recently rereading the Unhoneymooners, the authors are so amazing at humor and vacation romances that it makes me dream a bit, and I really wanted to see how everything would unfold.
Charlie deserved better, but I’m impressed with how far the family came.
Also, this book was definitely sexier than the Unhoneymooners in case anyone is not too big on heavy sexual content. 

Would definitely reread.
Also, I’VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO HAVE A WHITE MAN GO TO JAIL! THANK YOU, CHRISTINA AND LAUREN!

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

Are Christina Lauren officially back? They’re really hit and miss for me — more misses lately than hits — but this book was so good. I flew through, never wanting to put it down. The plot unfolded at a perfect pace alongside the romance, the obstacles in their relationship made perfect sense, the characters themselves were root-able and believable… it all came together so nicely. The only flaw here was, I think, the setup, but it was swept under the rug nicely and dealt with as realistically as humanly possible so it wasn’t as much of a deterrent as such a ridiculous hook could’ve been. I really, really enjoyed this one, and it’s such a pleasant surprise!

“When we care about someone, they deserve the benefit of the double. We have to consider not only what they did, but also why they did it. Intent matters.” 

Christina Lauren really just made a book with the same name as me as the FMC (I know it's not related but I always get excited by the books with my name on it!). I just can't stop recommending her books because it's really a rollercoaster of emotions you'd feel when you read this book. Anna is just the most amazing FMC I've read this year. I can't stop smiling and laughing with whatever she's saying or thinking. She's really just one of the best character out there. A strong AND funny female lead! What else are you looking for? Oh. Yes, Liam is also just swoon-worthy and they're just the cutest together! 

I love how you can really see the life of the rich versus the poor. How these two type of people can co-exist in a place and how one can influence the other. Those life-lesson can bulldoze you out of nowhere too!

A lovely, lighthearted rom-com with “fake marriage, forced proximity, one bed” tropes. Add in a few steamy scenes and some family drama and it was a good read to close out August.

I ended up having to skip some stuff to make it closed door. I enjoy the love story, but the spice was a bit much for my personal taste
