Rumor has it your dad brought her flowers and she pulled off every petal and used them to spell PUTA in the snow.
The review contains spoilers!!!
First of all, this book wouldn't have received such a bad rating from me if I read it in another life at another glance, but unfortunately i didn't. Who do I want to fool? I'm not sorry. Indeed that this this book earned to get such a bad rating from me. I just annoyed myself because it is also labeled as a book for booktok for millions to spit on their saliva, but nothing big. Another book, another disappointment. Maybe I shouldn't look at the readings, this opinion will be a reminder to me, in case I forget that not all is the cover.

Olive PISSED ME OF. All in all capital letters. Simply anyway I tried I couldn't like it even though I swear I tried it. It has about as much intellectual level as the name of the berry, but seriously. I had to read almost everything on the page about how perfect Ethan was, how big his muscles were and his black hair. Usually our protagonist stared at these muscles so much that she even forgot the outside world. Of course, it must also be emphasized in at least every second sentence that she is fat anyway.Isn't she a new FBAA character? Just to have something to zucch at.
Ethan was a bit better, but just as childish. At the age of 34, he was unable to speak to Olive like a normal person. It should be added that he has not spoken to her for TWO years because of a misunderstanding. Because a man wouldn't notice the protagonist's breasts and buttocks. At this point I could have scraped the wall, but it's not over yet. Olive is so damn unlucky it's unbelievable , her sister is the opposite. At the wedding, she won pretty much everything in a raffle - because she was ungodly fortunate obviously - so she had a few thousand dollars. Hold on because the turn is coming; Everyone gets a disease from the buffet and starts vomiting at the same time the two main characters are the exception.
Well, I thought it can't be any worse - I know since then I thought I was wrong - so I read on. But what figures out is that they have to go to the honeymoon because only the last names are given. This is the bottom line for enemies to lovers trope but seriously.
What happens if they don't go to the (fake) honeymoon? Nothing. There will be no end of the world, no frogs will fall from the sky, you just have to pay back the full amount.
Anyway, they go out and pretend to be married - Olive's boss and Ethan's old annoying ex appear, just to have to have to look husband and wife anyway. Basically, I have nothing wrong with the fake date trope but here I would have liked to have jumped off a mountain rather than reading it. I haven't read any worse execution in my life. I beg for it was embarrassing for that massage, I can't believe they couldn't say no to it.
The whole book is almost built around to trying to pretend to like each other until a fun evening Ethan got drank and tells her that he likes Olive anyway. After that, they spend an intimate night together, after which they pretend nothing has happened in the world, but after that, no one expects the plot to actually go, as they are busy every 5 minutes to go to bed.
After returning home, they do not tell anyone they are dating, but they are hiding - why? I cannot say - which then ends up in a drama. It turns out (what a twist) that what her sister's husband Dane (I dont even remember his name) is constantly cheating on and he tries to date with her. After that, no one believes her - neither her sister nor her boyfriend - and even loses her job and Ethan breaks up with her.
Weeks will pass by the end of the truth, and not anyone will bring this strange meeting together, but Ami. Then, of course, both Ethan and who beg for Olive's favor, and even get married in two years. Because these Torres and Thomas marriages have been so successful so far (which I and Dane are Ami for).
However, no one else has to be afraid of a happy ending for her that she has wanted; In addition, a loving boyfriend is a step-child.
The plot was very flat, by the way, and very slow, hardly anything on the first 100 pages. The jokes were usually baked in the stupidest moments and made little sense.
This was the Unhoneymooners book. It didn't take it off my feet, it didn't break my soul, and I was absolutely not impressed.
Booktok books are just that. You suffer with them, you wish you were death, but in the end, your desire for life is stronger and you are hoping that you may not listen to people next time.
