The Unhoneymooners
The Unhoneymooners | Christina Lauren
For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetimemaybe even lovein 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 arent affected are Olive and Ethan. Suddenly theres 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 doesnt 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 Laurens uniquely hilarious and touching voice (Entertainment Weekly), The Unhoneymooners is a romance for anyone who has ever felt unlucky in love.

Olive and Ethan wind up taking their siblings honeymoon. Olive‘s identical twin sister married Ethan‘s brother and everyone gets sick at the wedding except these two. Thrust on a dream vacation where they have to pretend to be together and in love, the two find that maybe they don‘t hate each other as much as they thought.

It‘s sooo cute, it‘s fake dating, it‘s enemies to lovers, it‘s introverts. It‘s I wish it never ended

Mshookquilts I guess I should have got that one after all. 🤷🏻‍♀️ but…I have way too many books to read 🤣 5mo

Book # 79
4/5
The Honeymoon Crashers (not listed on Litsy for some reason).
This sequel, of sorts, to Unhoneymooners, is a good Romance read. As a disclaimer, Romance novels aren't typically my thing, but I've read a few by Christina Lauren, and they do not disappoint. I recommend reading Unhoneymooners first, but this one would also work as a stand-alone.

Reread The Unhoneymooners (originally read in 2019) in prep for the audio original sequel of The Honeymoon Crashers (submitted to Litsy for add 9/19/23)

Very cute, but not sure I loved the audio version, felt forced or something but the story was a cute open door romance (first was closed door) and written from Ami's perspective instead of Olive's.

Since I couldn't tag this book I will tag the 1st book.

Finally able to knock out a good chunk of this today while I did work around my house. I much rather would be reading it (I probably would've finished by now if I was) but since it is only available on audio right now I guess I will make do. Plus...Harry Shum Jr as a voice actor, yes please!

It‘s been four years and hundreds of books since I read the the Unhoneymooners and I still remember this story. When I saw there was a 5 hour audio (narrated by Harry Shum Jr) with updates on Ami & Dane and Olive & Ethan, I had to know what happened over these last 4 years. It did not disappoint! …Also, this was the rom-com that saved me from certain ugly tears on an airplane as I was reading Go As A River (my last post). ↓

This book is comical! I literally laugh out loud on some parts. Love a refreshing rom-com, especially when I‘ve read such dark novels before this. The constant banter between Olive and Ethan is ridiculous.

This was my first Christina Lauren book and I liked it! It was fun and engaging. It had enemy to lovers and Hawaii. Though there wasn't many details about the setting, the places that were mentioned made my heart warm since I was there too. I do admit that the whole situation with the brother did make me lose a little love for this book. BUT... overall I enjoyed it.

I searched my shelves and I found a book that I have not read before (yes, I haven't read The Honeymooners yet). And since the characters are going to Maui, Maluma's Hawái came to mind.

a wonderful, lighthearted enemies-to-lovers with some really fun and romantic scenes. i enjoyed myself while reading so much i couldn‘t put it down all day! ah i love love! i‘m not sure if i really enjoyed the climax all that much; the turning point with the antagonist went on for so long and it really just made me want to punch a wall. i was so frustrated! but the epilogue! pure joy and pure love and wow i hate being single.

Olive and her attractive enemy, Ethan, go on her twin sister‘s honeymoon b/c the sister and the groom get sick. During the trip, they get rather close and realize their feelings for each other. Can they put the past behind them though?

I didn‘t really get the hype for this book. I liked the diversity in the characters, but not the characters themselves, especially Ethan. It had a happy ending, and I liked it, but not really how it got there.

This one has been picked for the #TrappedonanIsland more months than once, including this one, so I decided it was time to finally read it!! It's been on my shelf since it was gifted to me by @Chrissyreadit back in August 2020!!

This was a fun enemies-to-lovers/fake relationship read, although I did get a lot of secondhand stress when various lies were being enacted! I really loved the banter between these two characters, and felt like most of ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) the “unlikely“ scenarios felt like they could have happened, if that makes sense. I felt like Olive was a little harsh at times, but that's also because we spend the entire book in her head, so there's that.

Overall, a fun and fluffy read!!

(edited) 2y
TheAromaofBooks I did get a little frustrated with Olive - she and Ethan have a big argument about Ethan's brother and she gets SO offended that Ethan sides with his brother and not her. I get that, I do, and I didn't expect her to cave in and pretend like nothing was wrong. However, when the truth is out and Ethan apologizes... I felt like that was the time Olive should have admitted to herself that she would have acted the same if he had said something about ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) about her sister, but instead she just completely blows him off. Part of a relationship is not just being able to admit you're wrong, but being able to show grace to your partner when they admit that they were wrong, and there are multiple situations where Olive obviously has a problem with holding onto a grudge. It was a bit part of her personality that really grated on my nerves. 2y

Trying to get back into the #WeeklyForecast groove!! The top pic is my current TBR, a mixture of challenge reads and random books from my list/shelves. I started the tagged last night. It's been a #TrappedonanIsland book multiple times, including this month, so I think it's time!! Salt & Sorrows and the Heyer are both #LMPBC reads ( @julieclair I forgot to tell you it arrived yesterday!!) and I am hoping to get to them this week. Save the Date ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) is a #Roll100 read. I'll be surprised if I get further than that across the windowsill because I'm also working through this entire stack on the bottom at a chapter(ish) a day for various buddy reads and personal challenges. Frankenstein is my #BookSpin for this month, the next four are all Litsy buddy reads, and the bottom book is Living With Pattern, my current nonfiction read. I loved this author's earlier book, Living With Color ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I'm not resonating quite as much with Pattern, but that could be because I'm more into colors than textures 😂 But there is still a ton of useful and interesting information.

@Cinfhen are you still getting tagged in the #WeeklyForecast posts?? I'm out of the loop so it's okay if the answer is no 😆

The typical 'from hate at first meeting to loving you forever' trope. As much as I dislike cliche romance tropes, the book was decent enough to not 'DNF' it. A mix of a couple of relatable and a couple of absolute jackass characters. A quick casual yet enjoyable read.
3.5/5🌟

Finished my first #trappedonanisland book!

This was my first Christina Lauren book and I really enjoyed it. Having just been to Hawaii, there were a few things that stuck out to me. No way they weren‘t jet lagged going there and I don‘t think they ever put on sunscreen 🤣.

Other than that this book already made me miss Hawaii and I want to go back to Maui. I really liked Olive and Ethan and it really pisses me off when no one believes women.
