Despite reading through this 400 page book in two days, I didn’t feel like it lived up to the hype. I loved certain parts of this book, but I felt that others were misrepresented.

I loved the humor and the characters. I laughed several times throughout reading it and it’s such an easy read. It reads like a YA romance novel, but for adults.

I also loved the vibe and the setting. Who wouldn’t want a free honeymoon to Maui, right? The adventures Olive and Ethan went on were entertaining as hell, too.

The parts I had issues with were:

This isn’t really a hate to love romance. It’s obvious from page two that she didn’t really hate Ethan (she hated him while finding him seriously sexy). I found that the reasoning for this hate was weak, as well.

The act three conflict was eh. We saw it coming, not like it’s a thriller and we were owed a shocking twist… but it was still underwhelming.

Now, I really liked how that conflict was resolved. I found myself rooting Ami on when she called up his past fuck buddies and invited them to the house. I thought that was amazing and had me giddy.

I also really liked how Olive didn’t immediately crawl back into Ethan’s arms after he didn’t believe her about his brother cheating. I liked that she kept space and allowed him to make that grand gesture, which was hilarious.

The inside jokes were also endearing as fuck. There’s a lot to love with this book, but don’t expect hate to love and watch out for the cheese. There’s lots.
