Having recently finished “The Unhoneymooners” by Christina Lauren, I am happy to have had the chance for the e-book; thank you NetGalley and Gallery Books!

This was an entertaining story full of chuckle out loud moments. I like knowing that when I choose a Christina Lauren book there will be lots of smiles in the story.

The bridesmaid’s dress chuckle… “I look like a giant can of 7UP.”
UN-Honeymoon chuckle… “The massive bed looms like the Grim Reaper between us.”
UN-Honeymoon chuckle… “You think I’m cute?” “In a gross way.”

I am not sure why, but I also loved all the “green moments” throughout the story. The smiles they gave me were appreciated… and I may have wanted some GREEN skittles and a Day-Glo green cup with a delicious mai tai too!!

“It’s so exhausting pretending to hate you.”

5 Stars! First, love Christina Lauren books! This dynamic duo always has me falling in love with their characters and stories and The Unhoneymooners is no exception. In fact, this has been my favorite Christina Lauren book to date.

The Unhoneymooners is a enemies to lovers romance that follows Olive and Ethan as they lie to take the honeymoon of her sister and his best friend after there is a hilarious disaster at the wedding that leaves the bride and groom unable to attend. Not only do they have to pretend they like each other, they have to pretend they're in love when in reality they can't stand each other. This book had me cracking up, swooning and hot as heck by the time I was done.

This was a cute story. Two enemies are forced to go on a honeymoon together. I usually love enemy to lovers stories but this one fell flat for me. I didn't care for the characters too much. The "bad" luck" and coincidences are too much. The drama was a little too much also. It was a cute story but not one I would re-read.

Christina Lauren's books are the perfect beach reads. Romantic, sweet, and really fantastic. I am in awe of their range and talent and eagerly await every new book by them.

This was a fabulous book with lots of laughing, tears, and love. Two people who completely dislike each other get paired up for a "fake" honeymoon to paradise. Who would say no? I loved the characters with flaws, insecurities, and awkward moments like normal people have! I was very vested in the love story and these characters lives by the end of the book and would love to see a second!!

There’s nothing not to like about this standalone CLo gem! Olive is my girl and her circumstances made me cringe, then laugh, then pine, then laugh, then cringe, then sigh.

Cheers to the queens of quirky plot twists and the best and most unexpected happily ever afters!!!!!

This book was adorable. I am a huge fan of the Christina Lauren writing duo, and this book was just as amazing as some of my other favorites, like Roomies and Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating. It took the enemies-to-lovers and fake dating tropes and really played well with them. I was especially a fan of Olive's character—she was bold and funny and definitely deserved to share in some of her sister's good luck!

Christina Lauren always kill the game 10/10. Sweet, funny, a perfect summer read. They will never not be an instant read for me! The concept of this one was also hilarious.

As a huge fan of Christina Lauren, I know I will love anything they put out but this book? THIS BOOK? Omg this may be one of my favorites they've written. It may not be as steamy as others they have put out but from the messy start to Olive and Ethan's adventure, to the super sweet ending, I loved every word. This is a must read for any romance fan!

I highly enjoyed this book by C.Lo! It is my new favorite book by them and I have already re-read it. The holiday vibes, the Hawaii setting, and a hate to love trope are pretty much all things that I love in a romance novel. 5 stars.

I am not a huge romance fan, like- at all, but Christina Lauren is one of maybe three romance writers I pick up. Fun and light and a tropical vacation from the thrillers I normally read!

A well written romance. Good plot and character dynamics. Great setting. This is my unbiased review.

This is hands down one of my favorite titles I have read from Christina Lauren! If you love hate-to-love romances, this is the book for you. It has the perfect amount of sassy and angst, while also having incredible chemistry and romance at the same time. I loved all of the characters, and had just as much fun reading about them in Hawaii as I did at home. Very much worth the read!

This was my first Christina Lauren and it will definitely not be my last. This combines the enemies-to-lovers trope with the pretend-to-be-lovers trope and it works really well. Steamy and fun, not to be missed.

Full of sweet heat and romance. Not to mention a lot of laughter and surprises!
This story made me roll my eyes and giggle simultaneously. It made me melt, swoon, and rage as well. I’m glad I gave this story the opportunity to make me smile because the first couple of chapters made me cringe.
I was waiting for the right time to take a chance on this writer duo and I found their hilarity to be exactly what I needed to pick me up from the infamous reader’s slump.

If you’re looking for a second-chance, unlikely coupling with two unique characters, this story will make your list of great reads!

This is my first book by Christina Lauren and I'm surprised and sad it's taken me this long.

This is laugh out loud funny. Hate to lust to love with just the right amount of humor, heat, and drama. I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to exploring this author some more.

The Unhoneymooners is a fun, light read that anyone who enjoys "enemies to lovers" tales will enjoy. It's also very funny, and quite sweet.

I adored The Unhoneymooners! It's the quintessential summer read. Enemies-to-lovers? Hilarious unexpected trip? Yes, I'm here for all of it. I'm embarrassed to say this was my very first Christina Lauren read. Now, I'm excited to read *all* of their books. If you're looking for a little escape, this one's it.
