Your average enemies to lovers romance, this book was okay but was still pretty generic fluff. I did love Ethan and olives banger but nonetheless the tropes in this book are just way too overdone so it wasn’t something new to read.

I also kind of hated how

their happiness relies on olives twin ami having to suffer during and after her wedding due to finding out Ethan’s brother she just married was a cheat and that she got food poisoning at her own wedding !

Overall I’d recommend it as a light beginner rom-com as it’s fade to black with enough basic tropes but I won’t be keeping my copy.

Enemies to lovers. Olive and Ethan hate each other. But who can pass on a free honeymoon trip when their siblings cannot go.
I adored the jabs at each other, the intentionally saying the wrong names. The Harry Potter references. The cute aw moments that we all saw coming.

My only issue with this book is it was so predictable I was able to put it down for a month and resume without the urge to read what was going to happen next. I would’ve been content never finishing. But it was a good book.

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.
