While there is a food poisoning subplot, the graphic depictions of vomit and vomiting were way over the top.

It takes about half the book for the ice to melt in this slow burn, one bed, forced proximity, fake relationship, contemporary romance. About 75% in, Olive's life gets messy and unfair, but thankfully there is a Happily Ever After!
p.102/25%: Wouldn't a scientist —especially one with a PhD in Biology— say sea star, as starfish is considered an inaccurate name?
p. 358/84%: OMG! Badass move by Ami!

It also is not an enemies to lovers, because there is a miscommunication trope, which I'm not a fan of.
Also the way Olive was being gaslit so fk hard is not funny. And tbh ut triggered something in me, that part was very realistically written. But I didn't like the 'resolving' part with her sister and the MMC. It felt too rushed and I was so shocked that she forgave her sister so quickly. I was very annoyed with that.

I also kind of hated how
Overall I’d recommend it as a light beginner rom-com as it’s fade to black with enough basic tropes but I won’t be keeping my copy.

Unfortunately Ami and Dane experience the worst of bad luck at their wedding reception when everyone, apart from Olive and Ethan, come down with violent food poisoning! Cue a comedy of errors when Olive is forced to fly to Hawaii for the holiday of a lifetime with her nemesis...
It was a cute read over a weekend when the clocks changed and I could curl up in bed and enjoy a book where I did not need to think too much at all! It was filled to the brim with everything you would expect from a story of two people who start as enemies and end up in bed together!
