Like there’s a solid 50 additional pages that went on to resolve issues rather than cutting things off and moving on to the next book. The Ending: I promise there are no spoilers here! I loved that Christina Lauren actually finished a book that solved the problems that were presented throughout the novel. It’s one of those that perhaps you’ll forget that you’ve read it until you scroll back through GoodReads or Instagram to see that you have.

It wasn’t a changed-my-life read, but I liked it. The evolution for Ethan and Olive’s relationship was slow and believable I really liked it. Ethan and Olive’s bantering was enjoyable, and Ethan had a bunch of cute moments. The setting is to die for: Hawaii?!? Plus the whole premise of winning a honeymoon and the consequential faking of a relationship was fabulous. I felt like they were real relationships. I loved the dynamics between Olive and her sister and Ethan and his brother. Olive and Ethan are likable characters that are well developed with their own problems. It’s so pretty! Overall it was a decent read.

I kinda picked up this book because of the cover. In fact, the more she pretends to be the luckiest woman alive, the more it feels like she might be. 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. Suddenly there’s a free honeymoon up for grabs, and Olive will be damned if Ethan gets to enjoy paradise solo.Īgreeing to a temporary truce, the pair head for Maui. 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. 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. By contrast, her sister Ami is an eternal champion…she even managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a slew of contests.

Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin: from inexplicable mishaps to a recent layoff, her life seems to be almost comically jinxed. The Unhoneymooners By Christina Lauren Rating: 3/5Īvailable: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | BookShop
