Welcome to Litsy!

A hilarious, light hearted, and easy read! “Enemies to lovers” tropes are always fun to read, and the banter in this book was HILARIOUS! Loved it!

Just got this one at B&N! Can‘t wait to start it!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm not usually one for rom-com books. The usual cheesiness, and the helplessness and stupidity of the female lead...is absent from this one. The two main characters are likeable; the male lead is unexpectedly emotionally mature, and the female lead is independent and strong. In my mind's eye, I have already cast this as a movie with America Ferrera and Justin Baldoni. 1000% recommend.

Book 44 of 2021! Only 11 more to go to meet my 2021 goal of 55. This was cute, but I liked The Soulmate Equation better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5⭐ It was not the best book, but it was okay... I loved the characters and the story itself was decent but it was built around a misunderstanding and it was a stupid one too so it got on my nerves a little.

A cute rom-com story. Olive and Ethan are sworn enemies. However there respective siblings are getting married to each other. So when the entire wedding party gets sick they end up going on vacation together because it is a prize and is nonrefundable. This makes for some funny stuff. A perfect beach read with great characters and an equally great plot. 4⭐ #Scarathon2021 @StayCurious #TeamSlaughter

I had seen so many reviews on this one so I had to give it a go. It was a very cute quick read. One of my favorite saying is “Everything happens for a Reason” and it definitely did in this story.

9/10 I‘m a sucker for a good enemy to lovers trope. I have another Christina Lauren book on the way and I‘m very excited!!

I enjoyed this cute romance. I didn‘t feel as much of a connection to the characters or even between the characters. I felt the dilemma was too underwritten. The arguments felt forced and the resolutions didn‘t feel sufficient. Overall, it was a cute romcom read, but definitely not a favorite of mine.

21 #69 It‘s a romance. That is all.

Not your typical enemies-to-lovers story. I was pleasantly surprised by the turns this one took. The title makes it seem like it will rely on the whole fake relationship trope but there is so much more to it. I appreciated the honest communication between the characters and the difficult pressure of sibling dynamics.
I finished this last week and it was a great end-of-summer pick! 🌺

Ami and Dane get food poisoning at their wedding reception. They convince Ami's sister Olive & Dane's brother Ethan to pretend to be them and go on their non-transferable honeymoon to Maui. The problem? Olive & Ethan are sworn enemies.

I couldn't put this down until I finished it today. This is one of those books that you can't stop reading, but when it's over, you wish you'd read it more slowly. I enjoyed this so much! Such a fun rom-com!

This one was ok. Fine. Pretty good. I did LOL once towards the beginning. I usually like enemies to lovers, but I guess there was too much of the enemies part and not enough shown of the transformation to friends and lovers. I mean, it was there, but just not enough for me. Would probably be better on paper vs audio.

Book #39: A light rom com read that would make a cute movie (I think it is being optioned). I‘ve been dying to go to an all inclusive resort somewhere exotic so I lived vicariously through the characters. As a fellow over thinker, Olive was a little too relatable.

This is a meh. I was excited about this one because so many people recommended it but it fell completely flat for me. I read for characters and while I had moments where I enjoyed their chemistry I honestly don‘t think I‘ll remember them. #unhoneymooners

This was a laugh out loud rom-com. Perfect summer read!

The perfect laugh out loud, breezy, summer read! 😍 So fun and funny and cute!

This is my first Christina Lauren book, and I'm having so much fun! I've already laughed out loud multiple times within the first few chapters.

I'm going to need to pick up more books by this author team!

Precovid memory! Can't wait to travel again! #mexico #travel #readingunderthesun

This was a fun summer easy romance read. I am now craving a cocktail! 🍹 🍹 🍹
Olive and Ethan are adorable. And even if it was a little predictable I enjoyed the story. :)

I am not one for romance books, but I found this in the humor section and decided why not. I am so excited I did because I LOVED this!! It was soo funny, I was laughing out loud 😂 and I actually did love the romance, it just felt easy and hilarious. It took turns I wasn't expecting and the ending literally had my crying happy tears! 5/5

This was a cute and easy escape. 🌺🌺🌺🌺

My daughter said I need to read this because she loved it, and I‘m glad she recommended it. I‘ve laughed out loud a few times already, and am just all around enjoying it.

Olive is always down on her luck but her identical twin is always lucky. The book starts with a wedding that ends in a food poisoning debacle. That leaves Olive with a free honeymoon, but who to take? Her enemy, Ethan, who happens to be her new brother in laws brother. (Olive and Ethan really don‘t get on!)
Cue laughs, beautiful scenery and a cute blossoming relationship but can it stand the test of time back in everyday life. A cute summer read🌴

#Weekendreads
1. Tagged book. Slow to start but getting in to it now.
2.. The Guest List by Lucy Foley
3. Loveless by Alice Oseman - one of the best books I‘ve read about this year so far.

Going to miss this place. Had the best week and read lots. Started a new book today too

Found my perfect spot on the beach today 🏖

So good, predictable in the best way possible. Such a quick fun read. It‘s the perfect rivals to lovers story💕

Quick and fun, but I do have a suggestion that would make this book leaps and bounds better. Make the main guy a woman. Seriously, just like that this book would become more original, more interesting and probably funnier. I did rly enjoy the ride but SOMEONE pls PLS make that happen!!

Btw that‘s my hen Shibden sleeping on my lap 🥰

I liked the first half much more than the second.

This book taught me everything I need to know: that I am a big fan of slow burn stories 🥰🥵

I seriously read this book in two sittings because I could not put it down.

This was a fun one

When you have a 4 hour flight this week and two books on your TBR list come into the library at the same time. Now I have to choose which one to bring with me on the plane!!☺️

Loved the characters in the beginning, but the ending felt rushed and slightly unresolved. Overall, I liked it!

This was an ok romance. Started out intriguing, but the second half was mostly contrived and frustrating. The characters were forced into awkward conflicts and made to react in unnatural ways in order to move the plot to its necessary resolution. I didn‘t really like or relate to any of the characters and I got SO. SICK. of reading about Olive‘s ginormous boobs and Ethan‘s rock-hard abs that I was ready to toss them both into Kilauea by the end.

Audiobook pick:
Fun, predictable romance set in a tropical locale (which sounds wonderful in January!!)

Good, but not great. A light, silly, predictable romcom, as per usual for Christina Lauren, but it was missing a little something that I can't quite put my finger on 🤔

3⭐️

The last of my gift vouchers for Christmas have been spent. Hope it‘s good 👍🏻

Loved this 1!! I love her writing!
