A Romance, 2019 by Gallery Books, 432 Pages
What I Didn’t Like:
- Content warning: adultery.
- Predictable and formulaic in the way you’d expect a romcom like this to be.
- The lucky vs unlucky sibling thing is exaggerated and played up a lot in the opening of this book. It normalizes a bit as the story goes on though.
What I Did Like:
- Great characters. Olive and Ethan are well written and believable. They feel like they could be real, which helps.
- Believable (light) enemies to lovers. That’s hard to do because pulling off enemies requires someone to be inherently wrong and that can, often, hurt the romance. This makes it work.
- Excellent ending. Dealing with Ami’s stuff in a realistic way worked for the story and added another layer to the last act break up.
Who Should Read This One:
- Romcom fans, you can’t really go wrong with Christina Lauren. Funny, realistic, and adorable every time.
