The relationship that Olive and Ethan share is a cute and realistic one in which they stay true to themselves and always stick up for their family (even though, in Ethan’s case, it wasn’t really the best decision). There was everything you could hope for in a funny contemporary romance – lying, scheming, jealous exes, strict bosses, cheating, and even some smut (it always makes the storyline better). I was laughing along while flipping through the pages. But did it take away from the enjoyment? Not at all. Was the plot twist (if I may call it that) predictable? Sort of. Amy deserved way better than the scumbag she married. While reading the book I constantly found myself wishing for a sister like Amy (instead I’m stuck with a heartless brother) who would always be there by my side through thick and thin. I loved their constant bickering and how they just seemed perfect for each other. I think Ethan’s character complimented hers really well. With all the body negativity constantly floating around, I quite appreciated how Olive was confident about herself and loved her body – curves, height, and all. I actually especially liked how Lauren continuously brought up the topic of Olive having a curvy body-type and not a skinny one.

You get the idea, right? It’s no wonder I was so invested in her happy ending. I thoroughly enjoyed the character of Olive since I saw so much of myself in her. Christina Lauren decides to do this by sending the enemies on a non-refundable honeymoon. I like how the authors find unique ways to bring the main characters together – saving each other from danger, having to *ahem ahem* share a single bed, yada yada yada. I would like to start off by saying that this is an enemies-to-lovers plot and boy do I love this trope.
