Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in…well, everything. Her identical twin sister Ami, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Her meet-cute with her fiancé is something out of a romantic comedy (gag) and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of Internet contests (double gag). Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.

Olive braces herself to get through 24 hours of wedding hell before she can return to her comfortable, unlucky life. But when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning from eating bad shellfish, the only people who aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. And now there’s an all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Hawaii up for grabs.

Putting their mutual hatred aside for the sake of a free vacation, Olive and Ethan head for paradise, determined to avoid each other at all costs. But when Olive runs into her future boss, the little white lie she tells him is suddenly at risk to become a whole lot bigger. She and Ethan now have to pretend to be loving newlyweds, and her luck seems worse than ever. But the weird thing is that she doesn’t mind playing pretend. In fact, she feels kind of... lucky.



My Thoughts... 



I want to start this review by saying that I originally wasn't going to make it, however after thinking about it I thought that my opinion matters too right? so I though why not share what I thought about this immensely popular book that everyone loves... 

Unfortunately, I did not like this book, especially not as much as everyone else seemed to. I was so excited to dive into this, especially since it contained one of my all time favourite tropes - the enemies to lovers trope. I think the trope was done well however there were other factors that contributed to me disliking the story. 

The main thing was the main female character! omg did she irritate me. I felt like she was sooo whiny throughout this whole story - well that's my interpretation of her - especially when she would talk about how nothing ever goes right for her and she's so unlucky! like get over yourself giirl. I just didn't like that and it hindered the story for me unfortunately. 

I'm not going to drag this book or this review out because I believe that this book was just not for me but it may be the book for you!
