Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are going up to the skies for an in depth analysis…

Trouble In Paradise (2024)

Portia MacIntosh

Synopsis

Lara and Sonny are sworn enemies.

As rival showbiz journalists, they are always out to get one-up on each other – whether being the first to scoop the latest celebrity gossip, or sabotaging a potential lead.

So when their bosses ask them to join forces and go undercover at an exclusive celebrity retreat, they can’t think of anything worse – except that they are going to need to pretend to be in couples therapy to blend in…

Being on a tropical island for work would be most people’s idea of heaven, but for Lara and Sonny it’s hell. Can a week of sun, sea and uncovering showbiz secrets together chip away at Lara and Sonny’s rivalry? And once they get home and the fake relationship is over, could a real one be left in its place?

Positive Points

As far as romantic comedies go, this is a really random concept and it takes a while to get used to it. However, whilst it is really unbelievable and incredibly unique, it is a a fun read and I would say that this is a book that will really be enjoyed around the pool or on holiday.

Negative Points

You have all this book that is building up to a finale and then when it comes to near the end it happens all so fast that is can be hard to process it. Also it is predictable and may not be what you are after.

Overall Review

As far as rom coms go I would say that this book is good because it is so unusual in the storyline. There are some parts of the book that are really good and make you want to find out what happens. It is a story that is unbelievable but it can be a good escapism.
