If you're craving a lighthearted, enemies-to-lovers romance with a tropical twist, *Head Over Heels in Hawaii* is your perfect beach read. Tori Ross crafts a story that’s equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, making it impossible to put down.

The banter between Cora and Eric is pure gold—sharp, witty, and loaded with chemistry. Their initial clash at a convenience store had me laughing out loud, but watching their relationship evolve from irritation to attraction was the real joy. Eric’s gruff exterior slowly peeling away to reveal his softer side? Chef’s kiss.

Cora’s wide-eyed wonder as she navigates her first solo trip is relatable AF. From her airport mishaps to her awkward yet endearing reactions to Hawaii’s beauty, I felt like I was right there with her, cringing and cheering in equal measure. Her dynamic with Salina (and Salina’s obsession with Barns’ facial hair) added layers of humor and camaraderie.

The pacing is brisk—ideal for a lazy afternoon—but don’t mistake speed for shallowness. The emotional beats land perfectly, especially Cora’s internal struggle: Is this just a vacation fling, or something more? The Hawaiian backdrop isn’t just scenery; it fuels the story’s spontaneity and sense of adventure.

That said, the first half drags slightly with setup, but once the ‘vacation pods’ kick in, the story soars. And while some gross-out moments (no spoilers!) might make you gag, they oddly deepen the characters’ bond.

Verdict? A fizzy cocktail of humor, steam, and heartfelt moments. I devoured it in one sitting—and immediately wanted more Calvert sisters. Perfect for fans of *The Unhoneymooners* or anyone who believes love might be waiting... next to the sunscreen aisle.
