"The Paradise Problem" by Christina Lauren is a fun, feel-good romance that delivers likable, down-to-earth characters and plenty of charm. The story takes readers on an entertaining journey as a poor girl navigates the opulent world of a billionaire wedding on a private island, creating an interesting fish-out-of-water trope.
The main characters are endearing, and the secondary character, Blair, the sister-in-law, brings plenty of humor to the mix, adding to the book's overall appeal. While not the author's best work, it still meets the mark for an enjoyable read.
That said, the premise of two people in a marriage of convenience living together for two years and knowing this little about each other feels shaky. It's hard to believe she doesn’t even know his first name. However, if you can overlook this setup, the story remains engaging and heartwarming.
In summary, "The Paradise Problem" offers a delightful escape with its blend of romance and humor, making it a worthwhile addition to your reading list.
