This book featured some of my favorite romance tropes - only one bed, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, and fake dating/fake marriage. This book is a nice escapist romantic comedy book. This is a book that is a perfect palate cleanser type of read as a break after reading a heavier book and had me smiling when reading. 

There is plenty of banter and back and forth in this book. This is a humorous and witty read. There is plenty of symbolism and also the use of metaphors in this novel. The disagreement between Ethan and Olive was a pretty significant event in the book, but seemed to be resolved fairly easily near the end of the novel. No spoilers here, you will just have to read the book if you want to know.

I like a happy ending and HEA in my romance and rom-com genre reads. I did get satisfaction in the ending in terms of Ami and Dane's relationship and also with Ethan and Olive. I enjoyed the epilogue at the end which leads into the audiobook of the The Honeymoon Crashers which I have borrowed from the library for listening. 

3.75/5
