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.
Synopsis;
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.
Review:
Anybody who loves romantic reality shows, will ADORE this book! Olive and Ethan are so relatable, that you may wonder if they're based on real life events! Having two authors write the book gives it a really great feel, as you feel like you are seeing different perspectives of the same character. Olive is sarcastic and funny, and you may find yourself laughing out loud QUITE a lot in this one (drinking anything while reading NOT recommended, due to numerous snort worthy moments, LOL). You may feel like you know what the ending is going to be, but at the same time, you want to watch 'all 6 episodes' to see the chase and antics they get up to! But there are some surprises at the end to leave you smiling and hoping for another book featuring Olive and Ethan!
