the ride throughout was funny and tense in all the right ways, except for the later parts of the book which almost spoiled the rest of the witty dialogue and fun interactions the honeymoon part built up so well.
It started precisely when they went home and it became obvious Dane was cheating on Ami as he tried insinuating to Olive she can still go to Dane if she got sick of Ethan, but neither Ethan nor Ami wanted to believe Olive. There were moments during the honeymoon itself where Olive tried to bring up the "coincidences" yet Ethan shot her down at every turn, only for Olive to end up being doubted and blamed by both Ethan and Ami about Dane. While he received judgment, it wasn't truly very satisfying, and I didn't like the way Ethan tried to make up for it either; not the method I approve of.
