read if you like: THE UNHONEYMOONERS, CRAZY RICH ASIANS, fake dating tropes, tropical vacations, the rich & famous, toxic families, great settings to escape into

this gave me major THE UNHONEYMOONERS vibes 🌴 i've has this book on my shelf for 5 months and saved it to read it poolside in Hawaii…. and i'm SO glad i did; this setting was such a vibe and i truly felt like i was a part of the book reading it there. i feel like sometimes liking or disliking a book has to do with your personal mindset and location and this was probably that for me-it matched so
well and i never wanted to put it down. i've seen some meh reviews for this but i really enjoyed it. even though they were problematic, i love reading about rich families and how they live. typically fake dating tropes are my #1 romance trope enemy (it seems to be the top trope this year.…as seen in FUNNY STORY & JUST FOR THE SUMMER), but it was executed so well here! there wassome good steam and i think Liam will be everyone's new book bf 🫶🏻
