The Paradise Problem – 5/5 ✩
The Paradise Problem is the perfect steamy romance for the summer! The novel follows Anna and Liam as they celebrate Liam’s younger sister’s wedding. One of their biggest challenges: proving to Liam’s family that they’re a happily married couple. In reality, the pair married five years ago for personal reasons neither wanted to discuss at the time and not only have they not seen each other in years, Anna had been under the impression that they were divorced. As they struggle to keep up the charade in front of his family, Anna and Liam also struggle to fight their growing feelings for one another and the chaos that ensues at the hands of his family members.
After writing so many novels together, Christina Lauren know how to craft the perfect romance where you know the characters are going to make it to their happily ever after. This book was no different. What was different, though, was the depth of the characters.
Anna and Liam deal with serious issues in their personal lives – Anna has an unreasonable amount of responsibility on her plate with taking care of her father and his health issues and Liam has a plethora of issues with his siblings and his parents – and this added an incredible depth to the story, making their love feel even more realistic and interesting to read on the page.
I loved the island backdrop in their story and I loved the banter these two characters shared. Anna was a hilariously fun character that contrasted Liam’s more serious nature and I loved the pop culture references in the story as well.
I would absolutely recommend this book, especially in the summer and especially if you’re someone who loves traveling! This book is guaranteed to give you a bit of a travel bug once you read it!
