The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
3.0

Rich people problems set on a summery island.
Dual POV with dual narration {audiobook}.

Anna has pink hair (I love that for some reason) and loves pajama bottoms. She's very down to earth and relatable, but is challenged with fitting into a rich and fancy world when her fake-husband reveals they aren't actually divorced and he needs her help to gain access to his trust fund.

Watching her flounder in this world was entertaining as hell.

I do wish that there was more tension between Anna and Liam. They seemed to transition from fake married to real attraction without notice. It was too fluid, I guess?

And the epilogue was full of info-dumping, which I usually find long and boring. However, I found myself fist pumping, tearing up, and laughing within that twenty minute epilogue.

The spice was also a bit excessive for me, but that's just a personal preference of an asexual person. I mean... there's spice in the epilogue and that's how the book ends. If you like spice, you probably won't be disappointed.

I recommend reading this one if you're looking for a beach read. It's light, spicy, and fun to read. It didn't change my life, make me think, or make me cry (a determining factor of a five star read, I've noticed), but it was an enjoyable experience.
