I enjoyed this book a lot. It had so many hilarious moments but also many sweet, tender, and swoony ones. The audiobook was amazing, with a duet narration and I would definitely recommend it. Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donahue were both so incredible. Hannah's impression of Paloma was extra amazing for me.

Klein was such an amazing book boyfriend, and I lovedddd him. I love the way he stood up to everyone when it came to Paisley, how he didn't let Shane talking shit about her and get away with it, how he didn't shy away from telling her father what he thought while also reaching out to him for Paisley's sake. The man is a damn forest. I loved how he took and interest in getting to know her grandmother and being Paisley's number one supporter, always standing by her side through any decision she made, ready to back her up with whatever she needed.

Paisley was a people pleaser. This stems from what happened in her past with her family. It was honestly such a difficult spot to be put in, and her father never should've done so. I hate all the blame and resentment she got from her family, which in turn instilled guilt in her and made her feel responsible for breaking up her family. This also leads to her swallowing down her words and thoughts for years just to appease her family and not cause them any more distress. Which was also why she agreed to let her sister date her ex.

The romance was honestly so freaking sweet and made me so happy for these two. Klein had been in love with her 8 years ago before things went sideways. The time spent leading up to the wedding week to sell their fake relationship led to them learning more about each other and growing very real feelings. Once they were on the island, Klein couldn't keep his eyes or hands off Paisley, and nothing about it was fake.

There was good character development, especially in Paisley's case. The more time she spent with Klein, the more she started sharing and being herself with him. She got bolder and started realizing that the only person she was hurting by appeasing her family was herself, and that was not the right thing for her. It took quite some time for her, after all these years, to stand up for herself and tell others what she truly felt, and I loved that journey for her. Klein was always reliable and respected her choices, whether it was speaking up or letting go, but he made her realize that she deserved more from her family and that she shouldn't have to be the pushover for them because of her misplaced guilt.

The spice was reallyyyyy hot, and I loved it. The closet scene, especially knowing that her ex heard her... DAMNNN!!! That one gave me a lot of satisfaction.

Paloma and Cecily were amazing friends and coworkers, and I loved them. Their sense of humor and comments made me laugh a lot, and I loved how supportive and protective they were of Paisley.

I did want Sienna to grovel more because she was being such a bitch to Paisley throughout the book. I know there were some hard feelings involved because of <strike>Satan</strike> Shane, but it still didn't excuse the way she treated Paisley.

Certain plot points were left unanswered and forgotten. Like Klein and his fears about not being good enough or what he meant by his reaction to his photo being taken. What was the reason for that? I needed more information about his past—his struggles and insecurities that were hinted at but weren't elaborated on.

Also, what was with the mix-up 8 years ago with the text Paisley never received? They said they'd get back to it but never did.
