Olive Torres is famously unlucky, a trait that makes her sister’s lavish wedding even more frustrating. When the entire wedding party except for Olive and the groom’s brother, Ethan Thomas, suffers from severe food poisoning, an all-expenses-paid honeymoon to Maui becomes available. Despite their mutual animosity, the two rivals travel to Hawaii together to avoid wasting the trip. They navigate a series of forced proximity scenarios and complications, eventually pretending to be newlyweds to maintain the ruse while their genuine resentment transitions into a romantic connection.
This story appeals to readers who enjoy romantic comedies built on the enemies-to-lovers trope and situational humor. It suits those interested in dual-perspective narratives and stories set in tropical locations. Readers take away a lighthearted look at how shared history and initial misunderstandings can be reevaluated through close interaction. The book provides a distraction focused on the friction between personality types and the logistical hurdles of a fake marriage, ending with the resolution of familial and romantic tensions.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
