Her identical twin sister Amelia, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in…well, everything. For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetime-even love-in this witty and swoonworthy romance from the New York Times bestselling duo who “hilariously depict modern dating” ( Us Weekly) and authors of Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating and Roomies. ![]()
