The One That Got Away by Olivia Spring
Series: The Love Hotel #1
Genres: Romantic Comedy

What if the one who got away is really the one?

When Stella finds herself back home with a string of disastrous dates under her belt, she's certain she’s hit rock bottom. Until she discovers her mother has signed her up to The Love Hotel: a luxury matchmaking service where a perfect love match is guaranteed! Stella is adamant she'll have nothing to do with this nonsense! But then a match is found faster than she can say 'Not.A.Chance!' So, how bad can two weeks in the scorching Spanish sunshine be?

Very bad, actually. Because when Stella arrives, she’s mortified to learn her date is no perfect stranger. In fact she knows him a little too well. Because Max is the childhood sweetheart who broke her heart, who her heart remembers and who is more gorgeous than ever.

With no refunds, Stella reluctantly decides to stay and enjoy the holiday - all she has to do is keep Max at an arm’s length...right? Easier said than done when Max is impossible to ignore. And as the Love Hotel begins to work its matchmaking magic, Stella can't deny that the sparks still sizzle between them. And maybe, the experts were right afterall...

my review

From the very start, I was completely invested in seeing what would unfold between Stella and Max. The vivid descriptions of the Spanish setting made me feel like I was right there, soaking in the beautiful sights and atmosphere.

There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments throughout the book. Stella and Max were both endearing, well-developed characters, and their witty banter was spot-on. I adored their chemistry, and even the side characters, like Stella’s mom, added charm to the story.

Of course by the end I wanted to know more about the budding storyline between Jasmine and Alejandro. The cliffhanger left me feeling some kind of way.
