Overview of The Paradise Drawback: My Evaluation
Christina Lauren has written YA books, grownup rom coms, angsty grownup romance, an audiobook-only romance, grownup fiction, romance with magical realism, and possibly extra.
I like authors who combine it up, however the sub-genre swapping could make it exhausting to determine what you’re getting with every new ebook. Would you like humor? Spicy love scenes? A candy romance?
The Paradise Drawback has it ALL!
I’d describe The Paradise Drawback as a mixture of a few of my favourite motion pictures: a contact of Fairly Girl (as West pays Anna to attend the marriage and in addition funds a lavish buying spree) a touch of The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds (faux marriage rom com), and a bit little bit of Succession (West’s very aggressive grocery tycoon household). I actually loved it!
Since The Paradise Drawback is a ebook with a whole lot of components and plot units, I feel one of many smartest strikes Christina Lauren made was to lure all of the characters collectively for almost all of the ebook. Many of the motion takes place at West’s sister’s lavish vacation spot wedding ceremony on a non-public island. This retains every thing on monitor, which I respect.
This “locked room” component serves to lift the strain, as Anna and West, who’re technically married however barely know each other, are pressured into shut proximity with one another AND with West’s very rich, very dysfunctional household. AND they need to play a really fortunately married couple for ten days straight.
I additionally actually loved the emotional trajectory of the ebook. Usually it’s the feminine character in a romance who reveals essentially the most emotional progress, however on this ebook it’s all about West valiantly attempting to navigate his love/hate relationships along with his controlling father and aggressive brother. It’s a lose-lose scenario, and I favored that the ebook didn’t sugarcoat it. Generally relations are hopelessly poisonous!
I feel The Paradise Drawback makes an ideal summer season learn: a mix of armchair journey, a lavish wedding ceremony, a steamy romance, and a few household drama.
