Honestly, there wasn’t much I enjoyed reading about this book. I think the plot was a cute idea, and I felt like I would enjoy it, but I really didn’t. I didn’t really like any of the characters, except Olive  occasionally. I didn’t like Ethan as a love interest, I wouldn’t die if I didn’t have him as my love interest. I do think they were cute for each other though, but not the best relationship. I also hated the miscommunication trope with the cheese curds, that was just annoying. I didn’t like how that sparked their hate towards each other. I didn’t like the plot with Dane either. I only liked the actual honeymoon scenes where they did activities. That was it. The ending proposal was also weird and too cheesy. Like just because she reacts a certain way he’s like no I won’t propose she doesn’t want to get married? That was stupid. I did like the idea of grand gesturing for the right person, which he didn’t do for Sophie but did for Olive. It was expected, but cute nonetheless. But the actual grand gesture was weird and not that grand. He wore a shiny shirt and Hawaiian shirt. That’s not a grand gesture, barely even a gesture, it’s just a weird outfit choice. I was so disappointed with this book. It was highly recommended, but I do think it was a bit overrated. I honestly don’t really recommend it.
