The Unhoneymooners

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews * Publishers Weekly * Library Journal

Named a “Must-Read” by TODAY, Us Weekly, Bustle, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly, Southern Living, Book Riot, Woman’s Day, The Toronto Star, and more!

For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetime—maybe even love—in this romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling authors of Roomies.

Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin: from inexplicable mishaps to a recent layoff, her life seems to be almost comically jinxed. By contrast, her sister Ami is an eternal champion...she even managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a slew of contests. Unfortunately for Olive, the only thing worse than constant bad luck is having to spend the wedding day with the best man (and her nemesis), Ethan Thomas.

Olive braces herself for wedding hell, determined to put on a brave face, but when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning, the only people who aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. Suddenly there’s a free honeymoon up for grabs, and Olive will be damned if Ethan gets to enjoy paradise solo.

Agreeing to a temporary truce, the pair head for Maui. After all, ten days of bliss is worth having to assume the role of loving newlyweds, right? But the weird thing is...Olive doesn’t mind playing pretend. In fact, the more she pretends to be the luckiest woman alive, the more it feels like she might be.

With Christina Lauren’s “uniquely hilarious and touching voice” (Entertainment Weekly), The Unhoneymooners is a romance for anyone who has ever felt unlucky in love.

A Christina Lauren book without spice is just not right! This was a cute enemies to lovers story that was entertaining, but felt off for the smut queens to not include at least one spicy scene. It was a cute concept and I would watch it if it becomes a movie.

Pretty run of the mill romance. Olive was realistic and quirky, but Ethan has no personality except hot and obsessed with Olive. Anyways, I was entertained but it’s nothing to write home about.

Oliver falling in love with Ezra? Impossible. They couldn’t stand each other from the moment they first met at the State Fair. But when Olive’s twin sister and Ethan’s brother tie the knot, the whole family ends up getting sick, leaving Olive and Ethan to head to Maui together on their "honeymoon". As they enjoy the island’s activities and breathtaking views, something begins to shift between Oscar and Edward. Will Olive and Ethan finally become a real couple, or will this journey end in heartbreak? (The Banter between the two, just uhmazing)
