I greatly enjoyed a few other Christina Lauren books, so I was excited when I saw that this one was on NetGalley. It had a few tropes that I love, and had so much of the banter I enjoyed in other books. While it had a very strong start, the middle dragged a bit, though it picked right back up in the end, which was perhaps a bit too rushed. Though the epilogue was a nice touch.
Thank you to Gallery Books and NetGalley for the free electronic advanced reader!
Edit: 2025-04-21: reread the Paradise Problem in paperback. It's a fun reread, and the extra epilogue at the end was nice. Rating up to 4.5 stars.
