The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
4.5

Many thanks to my friends at @gallerybooks and @simon.audio for the free #gifted copies of these books.  

Years ago, my first read by CLo was The Unhoneymooners, which I adored.  And this felt very reminiscent of that experience.  The luscious setting, the one bed, the angsty buildup of tension, the hijinks and hilarity!

That book was SO GOOD.  Why would they try to recreate that magic when it might not measure up?  Well, because... apparently... they have a wealth of magic, and they’re only getting better and better with each new release.  

And with Paradise Problem, CLo has produced yet another winning read.  But dare I say... they have OUTDONE themselves with this one.  

I laughed out loud, and I blushed like a schoolgirl.  I was desperate for a good summer romance.  And BOY did this deliver!

Anna—with her pink hair and bold “I know myself” personality combined with “I’ve got your back” energy—was a heroine I couldn’t resist.  I loved that she was eccentric and relatable in equal portions.  And I needed to see her get a HEA.

Paradise Problem turned out to be the absolute PERFECT summer read.  A fast-paced binge read full of swoony banter and super SPICY romance.  This book hit ALL the right spots.  

It’s also worth noting that this book came at the exact right time and uplifted me even in the hardest of circumstances.  Thank you, C and Lo for helping me get through something unimaginable.  💗

This is another CLo WIN!  I’m already eager for what they’ll do next!

🎧 Patti Murin and Jon Root brought the characters and chemistry to life.  Murin is always a favorite narrator.  But this was my first experience with Root, and boy did he have me like putty in his hands.  SWOON.
