funny hopeful lighthearted

4.0

Loved the Hawaiian setting. 🍍
It takes about half the book for the ice to melt in this slow burn, one bed, forced proximity, fake relationship, contemporary romance. About 75% in, Olive's life gets messy and unfair, but thankfully there is a Happily Ever After! 

I was not a fan of Ethan continuing to call Olive by the wrong name, even during intimate moments (such as calling her Olivia instead of Olive). At first it was intentional as they didn't get along and were trying to instigate. But then it became cringe when they were falling in love and Ethan kept saying other women's names. Given his brother's cheating behavior, this was an ick factor for me. 

p.102/25%: Wouldn't a scientist —especially one with a PhD in Biology— say sea star, as starfish is considered an inaccurate name?

p. 358/84%: OMG! Badass move by Ami!
