Book is rated 4 / 5 stars.
I loved this book - everything about it and it made me so happy to add this to my shelf of books. I loved the idea of it all; the unlucky girl going on her sister's honeymoon, and Ethan getting the trip from his brother. The dynamic and relationship throughout this book was so natural, so believeable and it was so hard to not fall in love with both characters equally. The snapshots we got during the Honeymoon and after was just such a delight and I didn't want the book the end. There are spoilers ahead, so if you haven't read the book, be prepared.

The Plot
One romantic suite. Rose petals everywhere. Warm sands and cool pools, sunsets and mai tai...and your enemy. Olive's unlucky streak garners her a wonderful vacation, but she's stuck with a man she thinks has always hated her. Ethan, on the other hand, is on vacation with possibly, the woman who got away. But, he plays along because he believes she hates him.
Everything between Olive and Ethan was incredible; from the moment of the wedding, to the start of their vacation and all the excursions they were able to go on - their love story was really charming, cute and believable.
The way this story was written made me feel like I was there, nestled against the sands, too. I loved that. I also loved that their big dramatic issue that is bound to happen in every book was handled reasonably. They talked to each other, even though it wasn't easy. And, when they broke up, the big magical "MOMENT" was absolutely wonderful. I hated that her sister had to endure with such a trashed situation just so soon after her wedding, but the closing of the book was fantastic.
And, I love that Olive got got her happy ending, too1
Highly Recommended.
This is such a wonderful book, and it was really hard to put down. I highly recommend it to just about anybody. It's light, and seamless. An easy read, especially for weekends. I had a really hard time putting it down once I started and I couldn't stop. I really loved the entire notion of it and can't wait to read more by Christina Lauren.
