You could have knocked me over with a feather when my mum suggested that I go to the drugstore and pick up a romantic novel to tide me through the depression from which I'm currently suffering. My mother loves Literature with a capital L, and I am honestly surprised that she knew about paperback romances. So off I went, but came home empty-handed as I didn't like anything there. Amazon, however, offered up this book, which I enjoyed quite a bit. It was engaging (I stayed up until 4:00 a.m. to finish it), and it was a nice story. It was also predictable and rather unsatisfying. I'm glad I bought it. It took the pain away for several hours. Read it if you need something engrossing and light. ( )

Oh no they didn’t!!! How could the 2 most important people in her life not believe her? ( )

Fun! This book is up my alley - it's an unusual take on love and relationships - and not exactly what I would call a total HEA; part of it is, part of it wasn't. And with it being a bit messy, it feels more realistic, which is what I tend to lean toward.

Twins Ami and Olive find themselves at Ami's wedding, where Ami and the entire group of wedding guests get ill from the reception food, except the two who didn't eat it - the brother of the groom and Olive. Of course, these two despise each other. But, as the honeymoon is set and unchangeable, the brother, Ethan, and Olive take off to fill in for Ami and her new husband in Maui.

The story gets a bit predictable here, but it was done with a lot of fun, and easy to put the predictability in the corner because of the banter and antics. Of course, Ethan and Olive fall for each other until they get home, and all hell breaks loose. But, you will have to read it to see how it ends (you will thank me later).

I was surprised to learn that two people authored this, Christina AND Lauren (so very cool!). Ladies, you have done an excellent job, and I will look for more of your work. ( )

I really love this book, but I'm not giving it a glowing review because Ethan annoyed me so much. He refused to believe Olive even when the signs against his a-hole brother is clear. Olive shouldn't have taken him back. I'm craving for unhappy ending for this book ( )

Interesting turns and developments. A good love story with some doses of realism. ( )
