The Unhoneymooners
by Christina Lauren
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.
Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another hilarious romantic comedy from the dynamic duo that is Christina Lauren, this one in the form of an enemies to lovers story that is anything but typical. Olive and Ethan are firmly in the love to hate you category, but it's impossible for them to avoid each other when his brother is marrying her sister. While I felt like the story was a bit longer than it needed to be, the quips and banter between this pair, plus the crazy situations they find themselves in, keep the momentum going at a steady pace. The chemistry between Ethan and Olive is crazy good even when they're still hating on each other, and I love how the romance kind of sneaks up on them. There is a bit of angst, but overall, the story is just what a good romantic comedy should be - lighthearted and loads of fun.
