Book Review // The Unhoneymooners

Rating: 5/5

Synopsis:
"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 aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. Suddenly there’s 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 doesn’t mind playing pretend. In fact, the more she pretends to be the luckiest woman alive, the more it feels like she might be." -Amazon.com

Review:

Unhoneymooners is the book of the summer!! I was so excited to see that #netgalley sent me a free kindle version of this book over the weekend. I inhaled it in 24 hours! 

In the eyes of rom-com novels, this was easily my most favorite one. It had comedy, romance, heartbreak, self discovery, and restitution. And compared to the only other CLo novel I’ve read which had too much romance, the romance aspect in this book was perfect. It was just enough!!

I loved the relationship between Olive and Ethan. They were so perfectly matched. Haters turned into lovers is my favorite story. I appreciated the closeness of her family relationships and how they were all there for each other in crisis. Put this one on your list!!
