  • Olive and Ethan are so fun together! Their banter is fun and I love how they call each variations of their own names. 
  • It seemed like they had some misconceptions about each other, which caused the misguided notions. They clearly like to bicker and compete with each other. To me they weren’t exactly enemies. 
  • Olive and Ethan remind me of Mia and Nicholas from the movie The Princess Diaries 2 (especially the “I loathe you” and kiss scene!) 
  • The timing of the comedic and dramatic scenes are so on point 
  • I definitely understand why Christina Lauren books are so popular! This one specifically had a lot of charm, romance, humor. 
  • Olive’s family is so supportive and protective of each other. 
  • The epilogue is amazing and I loved it! 
  • The drama between Ami and Dane. OMG. I didn’t see it coming but I’m not surprised either. I immediately got bad vibes from Dane. I think it’s interesting that they were together from the beginning but Olive and Ethan are meant to be. 
  • I didn’t like or understand the obsession with boobs and body parts in this book. It was too repetitive about them. Like we get it, Olive has big boobs and Ethan is attractive. However, I’m not opposed to reading other Christina Lauren books.
