When Luck Takes an Unexpected Turn
Imagine being forced to spend ten days in a Hawaiian paradise with the one person you can't stand. Now add the complication of pretending to be madly in love with them. This is the predicament Olive Torres finds herself in-a woman who considers herself cosmically unlucky in every aspect of life. Unlike her twin sister Ami, who wins everything from radio contests to her entire wedding through sweepstakes, Olive stumbles from one mishap to another. Recently laid off and squeezed into a horrifically bright green bridesmaid dress, Olive's luck seems to hit rock bottom when she's forced to interact with Ethan Thomas, her nemesis and the groom's brother. Their mutual dislike began three years ago at the Minnesota State Fair when she caught him watching her eat cheese curds with what she interpreted as pure disgust. Since then, they've maintained a carefully cultivated antagonism-he deliberately calls her "Olivia" despite countless corrections, while she points out his apparent inability to loosen up at family gatherings.
