Cute, but too many problems for me to love it

3.5 stars. This was a mostly cute enemies-to-lovers vibe romance. Graham is the grumpy diner owner who hates tourists, and Zoey is the quirky, down to earth, unemployed and impoverished traveler surrounded by a rich friend (Lana) and Lana's filthy rich friends. Zoey is determined to get everything she can out of this trip she's saved forever for, but lots of stuff goes wrong. And she starts to fall for Graham who refuses to entertain the idea of a short term affair with a tourist, but also actively blames other tourists for issues but "Zoey is different". I didn't fully love this, but my biggest issues were : the instalove - they just met! It's like two weeks! And half of it plus, they weren't even dating and half their interactions were unpleasant?- and the violence - holy moly, Graham thinks pretty much every issue with another man can be solved with a punch to the face or a beating (and no one seems to call him out on that macho BS) and even Zoey is kind of quick to violence in the name of self-defence (even when there's no actual danger) and it's just forgiven. I'm hoping I'll like Lana's story more!
