Olivia's personality is quirky with a side of clumsy. Or maybe the other way around? She's a mess and a lot of it is self inflicted. She comes across as entitled and immature at times. Colin's personality is supposed to be "rich jerk" but we don't see much of that. They have some solid banter but outside of that the communication completely breaks down in a pretty childish way. Colin is not perfect by any means, but Olivia makes some completely baseless assumptions several times, even after getting to know him. Both characters have rather poor relationships with their families that I wish had been delved into more. Just some downer scenes that didn't add anything to the story. Spice was short of what you might expect given some of the early wrong number texts. The resolution was rushed and unearned.
