The Paradise Problem
Ooooh, this one was an enchanting read! In the acknowledgement the authors say that they hope the book felt like it was written happily during a continuous stretch of warm summer days. And friends, it delivers.
Quirky artsy FMC with a brooding MMC and their marriage of convenience. I loved every moment of this book. The confusing way the marriage of convenience was introduced, how they got a second chance, and oooooh, do we hate Ricky. And Ray. Coincidence that the two unredeemable characters start with the same letter? I do not know.
The development of their relationship was so sweet, legitimately a delight to watch it come to life on the page. This story almost feels like the white Crazy, Rich Asians (which is also a great read, you should also read that if you haven’t) but with a lot more fucked up family business shenanigans.
If you are looking for a read that will make you laugh, and kick your feet with joy, take this to your happy place and read it immediately!
