For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetime—even love.

Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in…well, everything. Her identical twin sister Amelia, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Her meet-cute with her fiancé is something out of a romantic comedy (gag) and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of Internet contests (double gag). Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.

Olive braces herself to get through 24 hours of wedding hell before she can return to her comfortable, unlucky life. But when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning from eating bad shellfish, the only people who aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. And now there’s an all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Hawaii up for grabs.

Putting their mutual hatred aside for the sake of a free vacation, Olive and Ethan head for paradise, determined to avoid each other at all costs. But when Olive runs into her future boss, the little white lie she tells him is suddenly at risk to become a whole lot bigger. She and Ethan now have to pretend to be loving newlyweds, and her luck seems worse than ever. But the weird thing is that she doesn’t mind playing pretend. In fact, she feels kind of…lucky.With Christina Lauren’s “uniquely hilarious and touching voice” (Entertainment Weekly), The Unhoneymooners is a fun and charming romance that is perfect for anyone who has ever felt unlucky in love.

I love Christina Lauren books. There’s just something so magical about this writing duo’s stories that click with me and The Unhoneymooners was no different. I really enjoy reading the enemies-to-lovers troupe and the banter and connection between Olive and Ethan was so much fun to experience.

Told in Olive’s POV, readers are taken on a journey from the ill-fated wedding of Olive’s twin sister to Ethan’s brother, where guests consume the buffet food (the horror) and are so violently ill that Olive and Ethan must now take the couple’s honeymoon in Maui and fake wedded bliss while sharing a one bedroom suite (the tragedy lol).

I loved their love/hate relationship… their nicknames for each other, the hilarious situations that they would get themselves into (the Bathroom of Doom), their realization that they are really something so much more than what they initially thought of each other.

That realization made my heart soar because it was just something so special, so honest and real, so emotional, and so romantic. I felt myself smiling and laughing and just enjoying this book so much.

Readers who love rom-com that is fun with smart writing and lots of lighthearted feel-good moments should pick this one up. I love this writing duo so much and can’t wait to read what they have for us next!
