The Un-Arranged Marriage
The Un-Arranged Marriage | Laura Brown
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Their mothers are the worst matchmakers... Mark Goldman has never gotten along with Shaina Fogel. Ever. Even when they were in diapers, their bestie mothers wanted them to grow up and get married. Not happening. Mark prefers his quiet, reserved life. But a family wedding is about to change everything Mark thought he knew about his archnemesis. A week of wedding events with Mark Goldman? Shaina would rather have a week of root canals. Maybe the guy is hot, but for their entire lives, he’s never once acknowledged the fact that she’s hard of hearing. So it comes as a massive surprise when she discovers that Mr. High-and-Mighty and Annoyingly Sexy simply didn’t know. And now she needs his help. When it’s revealed that the weeklong wedding events are actually a weeklong competition—for a dream vacation—Mark and Shaina do the unthinkable: work together. And the second the animosity begins to fade, something even more electric takes its place. Only now it’s not just an attraction between enemies. And nothing could be worse than the fact that their mothers might have had it right...

3/5

Shaina and Mark were born just ten days apart and their mothers have always wanted them to end up together, but between that pressure and Mark misunderstanding Shaina's disability they've always been enemies, until a competition to win a vacation forces them to work together.

I loved the hard of hearing and demisexual rep in the book. I did think the enemies part was a miscommunication that should have been sorted out before they were 33.

I rounded up to 4 stars because while this was an easy read, and reasonably fun, I just couldn‘t fully connect to the characters. I wanted to see how they worked everything out, but I wasn‘t super invested in them. There was some really interesting stuff touched upon, but I felt like when they finally addressed it, they just zipped through it.
