This book is in a contemporary setting and thus I expected to be a bit more realistic. But just all the lucky things her sister got or how she got her wedding/honeymoon seemed over the top and too much.
It also is not an enemies to lovers, because there is a miscommunication trope, which I'm not a fan of.
Also the way Olive was being gaslit so fk hard is not funny. And tbh ut triggered something in me, that part was very realistically written. But I didn't like the 'resolving' part with her sister and the MMC. It felt too rushed and I was so shocked that she forgave her sister so quickly. I was very annoyed with that.
