The Paradise Problem

This was much better than I thought it would be. It appealed to my millennial soul, and I appreciated the references. It was a fun, quick read, that was easy to get through. If you need a not-too-sweet but still romantic palate cleanser, this is a good book to break up the mysteries, thrillers, and fantasy books!

“Charming,” “Tasteful,” and “Humorous,” are the three words I would use to describe this novel. I really loved Anna and how blunt she was with her thoughts, she truly made me laugh throughout most of the book, I liked her character a lot. Same goes for Liam. He seemed quite pretentious, but his character really grew on me throughout the novel as he decided to open up to Anna, as she did with him. I believe this was a beautiful romance novel, and the tropical island atmosphere definitely helped boost the affections between the characters. (Made me wish Anna was me!) Christina Lauren hit it out of the park with book!

I flew through this book! It hooked me immediately with the banter and the one liners. God I love a funny fmc! Loved this book and will definitely be re reading it.

4.5 stars

Christina Lauren, returns with a delicious new romance between the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance.


It's my first time reading a Christina Lauren book, and this one is such a nice one. I've heard a lot about this book, and I wanted to try to read it. It turns out to be a nice romance, and I'm a fan of fake dating tropes in these kinds of stories. I liked the characters here, especially Anna Green, because she is so funny, and yeah, it's kind of a rom-com story, which I love. I liked the cover of the book, which I thought was appealing and nice. The plot and the writing are so good to read and catchy. I would recommend reading this book to anyone who likes rom-coms, fake dating, and maybe beach reads.
