Problematic Summer Romance drops you straight into a sun-drenched Sicilian villa, where Maya, a grad student, finds herself in an impossible situation. She's undeniably drawn to Conor, her older brother's best friend, who insists they're a terrible idea. This is Ali Hazelwood at her best: a delightful dance of witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and a deliciously complicated forbidden romance. As Maya navigates a destination wedding spiraling into chaos, she starts to suspect Conor might be keeping something from her, adding an intriguing layer to their already sizzling dynamic. It's a quick, escapist read, perfect for those who love a smart heroine, a grumpy-but-charming hero, and the thrill of a 'will they/won't they' set against a beautiful backdrop.
