CHRISTINA LAUREN DOES IT AGAIN! I LOVED this book. I could not put it down. I ignored all adult responsibilities until I finished - it was laugh out loud funny to the point I was sometimes cackling. The romance was sizzling and once again I have a new favorite male protagonist... Ethan *heart eyes*

Okay. I LOVE CHRISTINA LAUREN BOOKS! While I love some of their books more than others, I consistently know I will get a creative romance read no matter what. This book didn’t remind me of any other book I’ve read, which is saying something since I’ve read hundreds of romance books.

When it come to characters, an element I love is close families. Olive’s family may annoy her at times, but at the end of the day, they are the family that supports and loves each other. Something I appreciated about Olive, was that she is still growing. She’s hilarious, and I totally related to her. I always joke that I have the worst luck. Also, I have an affection for bad liars, it really makes for some great comedy! Ethan, Ethan, Ethan. I really wish I had gotten more from him, but I think that is mostly due to it all being in Olive’s perspective. He does give some amazing apologies, so that is a definite plus in the pros column.

Plotwise, this is a damn rollercoaster, and I loved it! You’d think with so many things happening, it would be overwhelming, but the authors did a beautiful job of weaving all of the elements together. I was engrossed in this story and stayed up until 4am to finish it. Yeah, not smart, but it just couldn’t be avoided. I just needed to know what happened! So, I read this book in one sitting, and would definitely recommend it to my fellow romance readers!

Special thank you to Gallery Books and NetGalley for the free eARC in exchange for an honest review!

The Unhoneymooners doesn't release for quite a while, so I debated on whether or not I should read it right away or not. But Christina Lauren is GUARANTEED to captivate this reader with an unputdownable, refreshing romance and those types of reads have been so few and far between these days... so it'll come as no surprise that I just couldn't wait to dive in. 

Well, captivate they certainly did with The Unhoneymooners. This story was fun and different, sweet but peppered with a good dose of angst and heartache. It swept me away from the polar vortex of NY to the sultry Hawaiian sands in an unexpected enemies to lovers romance that was packed full of humor and delicious sexual tension. I seriously couldn't get enough of this book. Everything from the characters to the story felt fresh and unexpected and I loved every second. 

I absolutely LOVED Ethan and Olive. They are perfectly imperfect characters, riddled with flaws and assumptions that make for a roller coaster dynamic. Their families are fascinating, their banter is sharp and hilarious, their course is unique and different and complicated. I was consumed. I can't say enough good things about this one. The Unhoneymooners is a delightfully sharp enemies to lovers romance and I couldn't have loved it more.

3.5 stars! I enjoyed this book but I didn't like it as much as I liked the last 2 books released by Christina Lauren. The story reminded me a little of The Hating Game by Sally Thorne but I didn't feel like Olive and Ethan had as much chemistry as the characters in that book. It dragged a little for me towards the end and It was cleaner romance than I thought it would be. I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole Dane storyline and all the miscommunication going on. Overall, it was entertaining but I didn't love it.

Olive is unlucky- in almost everything she does. Her twin sister- not so much- Ami wins at everything- including a free wedding- which goes off without a hitch until the entire party is struck down with food poisoning- the entire wedding- minus two people- Olive and her arch-nemesis, Ethan, otherwise known as the Best man and brother of the groom. They agree to take the (FREE) honeymoon and what follows is a comedy of errors. Truths are exposed, secrets come to light, and lots of fun to be had makes this one of my favorite Christina Lauren books to date. You'll love Olive and Ethan and Olive's crazy, overbearing family.

I downloaded this book this afternoon, and read it one sitting. I loved it! Olive and Ethan are enemies.... or are they?
When circumstances throw Olive and Ethan together on a trip to a tropical paradise the sparks fly. I laughed out loud reading about Olive's misadventures, and the banter between her and Ethan is hysterical.
This is a funny, sweet romance that I think would make a great romcom film.
I will definitely be purchasing this title for my library.
Thank you NetGalley for the great afternoon reading and laughing!!

This was a fun, quick read - the perfect book for relaxing and enjoying. I loved the concept of twins and then brothers. It was interesting to watch Olive and Ethan work through their mistaken reactions to one another.

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a supercute New Adult story, with the expected Sassy bestie (the twist here is that it’s an identical twin who’s obsessed with deals), the hot-yet-hateable Mr Darcy stand-in, and a super contrived plot set up- But it’s clever and fun and you really root for the protagonist. Solid four escapist stars.

Squee! I absolutely loved this! So funny and just swoon worthy. I loved Olive and Ethan. This was such a fun book! I highly recommend it!!

What can I say? These authors have done it again. They make me feel. I love their characters. Olive is so much a part of everyone who is a bit pessimistic and Ethan is the cranky hero we all need. From the moment the mass vomiting started, I knew I was going to love this book and make it my first five star review of the year. I so enjoyed watching these two fall for each other and it wouldn't be a great romance novel without the authors putting a knife in your heart and then twisting it before you get to the Happy Ever After. I loved, I laughed, I ached, I sighed. This was amazing.

Christina Lauren continue to be a breath of fresh air in the world of romantic comedies. Their books are always some of my most anticipated reads and I am rarely disappointed.

The Unhoneymooners has two of my favorite tropes. Enemies-to-lovers and fake marriage. How can you go wrong with that? When Olive's sister Ami and Ethan's brother Dane come down with food poisoning after their wedding, each offers their respective sibling their honeymoon. Neither Olive nor Ethan, having disliked each other since the moment they met, wants to give up a Hawaiian vacation to the other so they agree to both go, figuring that the resort would be so huge that they'd barely have to see each other. Little do they realize that they'll run into obstacles that will force them to keep up the just-married facade for the entire vacation.

This book is full of the usual Christina Lauren humor. Their characters are so effortlessly funny and quirky. The tension between Olive and Ethan is almost palpable and the antics they get into in this book are entertaining and will have you laughing out loud one minute and swooning the next.

If you like Adult Contemporary Romance you must read this book. Christina Lauren never dissapoint. The characters are well developed, the story has humor and heart. I loved the journey of the two “enemies” finding themselves in awkward situations on their trip and slowly discovering their feelings. Such a fun story.

As soon as I saw the cover release of this book on instagram I knew I needed to read this book asap! I was lucky enough to be given an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!)

I haven't read a book by this dynamic duo that I haven't loved and this one was no exception. Each book I read of theirs I instantly move to the top of my favorite list (last one was My Favorite Half Night Stand) and now The Unhoneymooners has taken the lead! They really are the queens of rom-coms!!

Olive is the unluckiest person in the world while her twin sister Ami, has the complete opposite luck in life. Ami's got the kind of luck that literally paid for her whole wedding (except for about $1,000) and a free honeymoon. Although both of their luck seems to shift on Ami's wedding day when everyone in attendance gets sick from bad shellfish except Olive (thank goodness for that shellfish allergy) and Ethan (Ami's husbands brother-who refuses to eat buffets). Since Ami and her husband Dane can't make it on the nonrefundable/nontransferable honeymoon, that leaves Olive to take her place, along with Ethan since they share the same last name and Ami never gave the first name while making the reservation. Seems great, except Olive and Ethan absolutely hate each other.

Fast forward to them boarding the plane together to head to Hawaii for their unhoneymoon. I won't go into details about what happens while they're in Hawaii or who they run into at their resort, but let's just say all those adventures made for a laugh out loud story. Knowing that this is an enemies to lovers story I expected the witty banter and intense chemistry between the two and I wasn't disappointed with how these two behaved around each other!

One of the best parts of this book was that it all seemed so real and could actually happen, not like some silly romance movie. Not only the friendship/relationship between Olive and Ethan but also the relationship between Olive and Ami, Ethan and Dane, and Olive and her whole family. Olive and Ethan don't just fall in love and live happily ever after. Life goes on, issues arise and they face problems outside of their relationship.

I've never been to Hawaii (definitely on my bucketlist), but with this beautiful cover and amazing descriptions of the island I felt like I was actually there . Christina and Lauren did an awesome job at describing the sounds, smells, and scenery of Maui and I can't wait to actually visit one day.

**Thank you again NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!**

Thank you for the early copy.

This is my first experience with a Christina Lauren novel and it was great one. The humor and banter between the two love interests was great and I really enjoyed the love-to-hate trope. It was well done and I was never bored when reading this romance! I will be reading more from them in the future.

Thank you to Gallery Books and NetGalley for the ARC of The Unhoneymooners, in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

If there is one thing you can count on from the dynamic duo of Christina Lauren it is they know their Rom-Com!

The Unhoneymooners takes you on a trip to Maui with the bride’s sister and groom’s brother - after a hysterical barf-o-rama (think Stand by Me but funnier!) occurs at Ami and Dane’s wedding. Olive and Ethan hate each other - but why waste a completely free trip to Maui, right?? What follows is Olive and Ethan’s journey which is hysterical, laugh out loud funny, and filled with every emotion you want to feel and everything you have come to love with Christina Lauren’s writing.

Christina Lauren keep getting better with every novel they put out! The Unhoneymooners is a 5 Star read!!

I screamed with joy when this popped up on my kindle! First of all this might be my favorite cover of all Christina Lauren's books! It's perfect! The Unhoneymooners was one of my most anticipated reads of the 2019, and it did NOT disappoint! CL are able to craft the most likable and relatable characters. They create characters that you want to be friends with. Ethan and Olive are no exception to this. Their banter is amazing and so snarky. I loved it. I couldn't put this book down once I started it! I also love Olive's whole family, they were ridiculously hilarious and wonderful. The setting was so fun, and really added to this story. The story overall was wonderful and full of surprises! This is another wonderfully charming book by Christina Lauren! I can't wait to get a physical copy!

Christina Lauren hits another home run! I may have dropped everything on my to be read lists and read this book the moment I was given it. I only started reading them in December of 2018 but I want more! I need to find all their books and read them.

The Unhoneymooners puts together Olive and Ethan in a situation that they never thought they would be in. Taking their siblings honeymoon after food poisoning happened at the reception and Olive and Ethan were the only two not to get it.

Ethan and Olive "hate" each other but through the time they spend together "sparks" file. You watch them as they journey through their time together in Hawaii and after.

I love love love this book and I can't wait to read more of the authors books and I serious can't wait for their next new book.

Part of me wishes I wouldn't have flew through this book! But part of me doesn't care. :)

4 Stars - This book was SO. FUNNY. I loved Olive and Ethan, they were so funny and bantery. I also liked that the both had more fleshed out personalities than the characters in the last CL book. It cracked me up that they kept calling each other by the wrong names, and all of their hate-to-love sparring was so funny. I thought all of the situations that they ended up in throughout the book were incredibly comical and/or cringe worthy as well. Plus, a fake honeymoon and a vacation-centered romance novel is just pretty darn fun. I could have dealt with it being a bit more of a slow burn, and I felt like the dramatic turning point was a little drawn out, but overall I really liked this book. I think it was probably my second favorite CL book so far after Josh and Hazel. Highly recommend if you enjoy contemporary romance and humorous women's fiction.

Miscommunication has been a better subplot of a book. First impressions go a long way to set a foundation for any relationship and it did that for Olive and Ethan. I'm inherently like Olive so I was able to understand and sympathize with her general attitude as well as her sarcastic demeanor. I would so love to meet her. The recommendation that this is perfect for fans of The Hating Game is so spot on. Unhoneymooners should get as much love and hype as all their other romance novels if not more. The Maui location only served more to take the reader on just as big an adventure as Olive and Ethan.

This has everything you expect from a Christina Lauren book; characters you recognize and want to be friends with, situations that make you laugh and groan, and it leaves you wanting more. Olive and Ethan's siblings got married and after a series of unexpected turn of events they find themselves on the honeymoon in Maui. And they've never said a nice word to each other. With laugh out loud twists and turns the story of Ethan and Olive's Unhoneymoon leaves you smiling and wanting the rest of their story.
