Gripping, romantic, dramatic, and fun! The writing duo of Christina Lauren have delivered yet again! I loved this hard to put down book and was rooting for the two main characters the entire time! It’s all about the journey in romance books for me and The Paradise Problem was a wonderful, tense, fun, dramatic, and entertaining journey! The Paradise Problem makes for wonderful summer reading!
Anna Green married Liam “West” Weston in college to get subsidized family housing in college. She thought he was marrying her for the same reason. She also thought that when they graduated, the papers he asked her to sign were divorce papers….
When Liam/West shows up three years later, Anna is shocked to learn that they are still married and that he needs her to come with him to his sister’s destination wedding on a private island. His family has been asking about his wife and he needs to show he is happily married to gain access to the money his grandfather left in his will. Liam and Anna are polar opposites. She is a fun, quirky, pink haired starving artist. Liam is a strait-laced professor at Stanford and heir to a grocery store empire.
This was a fun read full of interesting and quirky characters. Liam has many toxic family members and he and Anna must do their best to put on a show of being happily married. I enjoyed the fake marriage/real marriage component of this book. This provided many jaws dropping, shocking, funny, and dramatic scenes in the book. I also enjoyed the family dynamics on display. Anna has a loving relationship with her father and her life resolves caring for him during his health crisis. Liam’s relationships with his family members are far from loving…
I enjoyed the story, the family dynamics, tension, attraction, and connections formed in this book. Plus, there was some fun and sexy banter as well.
Well written, gripping, dramatic, fun, and hard to put down!
