4.5

I eat up a fake marriage/fake relationship love story every time. Bonus points if the love story takes place on vacation. Anna is so lovable and amazing and so real. I’m so proud of West (which is better than Liam, sorry), their love story was amazing and I’m a sucker for family and kids so all the other characters were phenomenally and wow I’ve never seen a father be such a terrible fucking person in my goddamn life. Actually no, the father from Twisted Love would like a word. But wow!

Anyway, to be more concise, I really enjoyed this book. After recently rereading the Unhoneymooners, the authors are so amazing at humor and vacation romances that it makes me dream a bit, and I really wanted to see how everything would unfold.
Charlie deserved better, but I’m impressed with how far the family came.
Also, this book was definitely sexier than the Unhoneymooners in case anyone is not too big on heavy sexual content. 

Would definitely reread.
Also, I’VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO HAVE A WHITE MAN GO TO JAIL! THANK YOU, CHRISTINA AND LAUREN!
