I absolutely loved this book from start to finish and couldn’t put it down. It was a light and entertaining rom-com. A new favourite. It was the perfect book to lift my spirits at the present time. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

I really enjoyed The Unhoneymooners. It is a rom-com predominantly about two people that hate each other and are pushed together through a trip to Maui. I loved the two main characters and the relationship all the way through the story. A lovely warm piece of paradise when you don't have it! Christina Lauren have written an interesting and flowing story.

Thank you NetGally. I thoroughly enjoyed this read.

Loved this one! Light, warm, and funny novel to lose myself in! Loved the characters, and the drama neatly woven with funny scenes! There was a problem with the formatting of the text conversations which was disappointing but I'm still happy to give it 5 stars! Thanks netgalley!

In the Unhoneymooners we meet Olive and Ethan, in the eve of their siblings wedding, Oliver's twin sister is marrying Ethan's younger brother. At the reception all the wedding guests get sick because of the food, the only people who aren't affected are Olive and Ethan since they didn't eat from the buffet.

This means that the married couple can't go to their Honeymoon which is already paid for and they can't get a refund. Her sister encouraged her to go at the trip herself, it will be the perfect break while she is still looking for a job.

Ethan is in need of a vacation, since no one else will go to Hawaii it would be a pity to lose this all paid for trip.

That's how two people who don't stand each other end up at Hawaii for two weeks in the place of the couple.

Olive and Ethan hated each other since their first meeting, now that they have to spend two weeks together they will have to actually talk to each other without arguing every minute. Their banter was so much fun to read, they have the best sense of humor. I loved the way their relationship changed from to hate to something else. This book was full of beautiful scenes and pictures. A must read for all the those who love the hate to love trope.

*I received an arc from Little, Brown Book Group through Netgalley.

I've been wanting to read this since it was FIRST ANNOUNCED and now I finally have..

AND IT WAS SO GOOD!

It really was the ultimate haters to lovers story, and it was absolutely what I needed right now. I laughed out loud, teared up and damn, these characters are BADASSES!!
There were so many hilarious parts (that had me choking with laughter or cringing on their behalf), and Olive's internal monologues completely added to these situations.

Christina Lauren are the ultimate writing duo 👌
(Anddd now on to their next book!)


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars please read this book, it has my heart

Thank you so much Netgalley and Little Brown Group for providing the ALC in return for an honest review!

I loved this! Yes, you can predict where this is going to go and the twists and turns that are going to happen along the way but the characters are likeable, the conversations are funny and it’s almost guaranteed to lift your spirits!

Read this book and read it now! I’d heard so much about it and was excited to receive an advance copy.
This is the perfect book to lose yourself in and give you all the feels. Loved it

This book has been on my radar for a while. I love enemies to lovers romance plot lines and I’ve heard so many good things about Christina Lauren books.
Anyway, I devoured this in a DAY. Page to page. I could not tear myself away from Olive and Ethan. To start with I was a bit put off. I thought these two hate each other SO bad how can this ever be turned to love in a believable way but my god did they manage it.
I felt every emotion, every inside joke. It had me laughing, crying, giddy with joy. It was such an uplifting positive book. I loved everything about it.

A haters to lovers story for Olive and Ethan

Olive's twin, Ami, has just married Ethan's younger brother Dane. After a case of food poisoning at the wedding, Olive and Ethan end up going on the honeymoon together.

As they spend more time together and get to know each other, it seems that maybe their first impressions of each other were wrong, but throw in some secrets that Dane has been keeping, a new boss and an ex girlfriend and everything gets more complicated. Can it be more than a holiday fling and what will happen when they get home to the real world.

A great read, and I espeically liked that the epilogue is told from Ethan's point of view.

I am speechless. This book was so perfect I devoured it in 5 hours! I already want to reread it and it has replaced my favourite romance! The Unhoneymooners in my opinion is flawless and I can't wait to read more from Christina Lauren!

If you are looking for a fun read that will make you smile and make you laugh, put this on the list! It tells the story of Olive, who ends up going on what should have been on her twin sister's honeymoon when the rest of the wedding party fall ill. The trouble is that she has to go with her sister's brother in law - Olive and Ethan have never got on, or so it seemed. Is it a tad cliched? Enemies to lovers, set against a beautiful tropical background - well yes, but the characters are fun and well drawn, the banter between them keeps coming, and the story gallops along as their relationship develops. An easy read, and perfect if you need to escape and immerse yourself in a real feel-good book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Little, Brown for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book by this author that I read and I loved it! The story of enemies to lovers isn't new but I got attached to the characters and I loved the banter between them. Chick flicks are usually written from the woman's POV, this one is too, but it would have been great if we could have had some chapters with his view/version of the events.

All in all a very enjoyable, light-hearted and easy read, perfect for summer/vacation or this pandemic time.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

Thank you to the publisher who provided me with an e-copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

5 <b> Wedding Bells for the wrong sister </b> Stars
I loved christina lauren what feels like soooo long ago with their beautiful bastard series. I have read quite the backlist of 9 bookswavering from 3-5 stars. This book was an enemy to .lovers story that was so well done I fell back in love with the trope. It was quirky, natural and fun. It is the perfect summer read/vacation read. It is also quite a long book over 400 pages which I typically don’t get into but I think it was worth it and I am glad I didn’t judge a book by its wordcount. For such a simple trope it was well done and more plot twists occurred thatn you would imagine. The book also provides you with characters you can love and those you can hate and it doesn’t take away from the story.
Quote:

"When I signed up for this honeymoon, I had no idea it would involve so much nudity."

The Unhoneymooners is an enemies to lovers story about two in-laws who hate each other, but end up on their siblings' honeymoon together.

The characters are fairly generic, but the banter (and selection of names they call each other) is inspired. Hilariously funny, the antics get better and better.

This book delivers a sweet, fun and engaging romance that I would definitely recommend for brightening up an afternoon!

This review has been posted to Goodreads and will be submitted to Amazon after release.

This was a delightful romantic comedy that kept me literally entranced. The character depiction was on point and the story was fascinating and well developed. Highly recommended!

3.5 stars

I feel a little ambivalent about this Christina Lauren book. It didn't totally bite me and thrill like their books normally do. I think the reason for that was due that it was the kind of enemies-to-more book that crossed the line from fun-hate into sibling-esque constant biccering. I struggled with the biccering that should have felt like banter but didn't. Thankfully, half way through the book that feeling abated. There were some deceptions that were fun and then not, they were the kind of deceptions that are supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. All that said, there was great chemistry between the two main characters that saved the book and my feelings towards it.

I struggled with a bunch of the characters but I am happy to report that most of them did eventually grow on me. The best thing about this book was Dane's storyline.

I think this was a case of it just didn't hit the buttons for me like their books normally do but I will be back for more from this great duo.

This really was a story to take me by surprise. While the end result was obvious, it was such good fun to watch things unfold you’d have to have a heart of stone to not be sucked in.
Olive has always been used to feeling less than her composed sister, Ami. But when Ami and her entire wedding party get sick on the day of the wedding it ends up with Olive and best man, Ethan, taking up the honeymoon.
They hate each other, so it’s obvious they’ll end up together, but this was done naturally and in a way that had me both laughing out loud and swooning.
Great fun. Perfect summer read.
