Publisher Description
'The perfect choice if you've had to cancel your summer holiday but still want to feel the sand between your toes' Beth O'Leary
'Pure joy' Sally Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game
The honeymoon of a lifetime . . . with her sworn enemy!
Olive is always unlucky; her identical twin sister Ami, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. While she's about to marry her dream man, Olive is forced to play nice with her nemesis: the best man, Ethan.
Yet Olive's luck may be on the turn . . . When the entire wedding - except for Olive and Ethan - gets food poisoning, there's an all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Hawaii up for grabs. Putting their mutual hatred aside, Olive and Ethan head for paradise. But when Olive runs into her future boss, the little white lie she tells him spirals out of control.
Forced to play loving newlyweds, she and Ethan find themselves in closer proximity than they ever expected. Soon, Olive finds that maybe she doesn't mind pretending. In fact, she's beginning to feel kind of . . . lucky.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Christina Lauren (an amalgam of co-authors Lauren Billings and Christina Hobbs) has a knack for witty, fun romantic comedies filled with rapid-fire dialogue and relatable characters. The premise of The Unhoneymooners is, admittedly, hilariously outlandish: an entire wedding gets food poisoning apart from the bride and groom's respective sister and brother, who head to Hawaii to enjoy the couple’s non-refundable honeymoon. But the book’s emotions, passion and themes of family and trust are 100% genuine—and so much fun. Easy to read and giddily feel-good, The Unhoneymooners will woo even readers who don’t typically gravitate to these kinds of stories.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This dazzling standalone contemporary from Lauren (My Favorite Half-Night Stand) is a hilarious comedy of coincidences. Olive Torres is a notoriously unlucky woman, but her luck seems to change after her twin sister Amelia's wedding ends with almost everyone sick from food poisoning. The only ones who dodged it are Olive and Ethan Thomas, the brother of Amelia's new husband. Olive and Ethan can't stand each other, and when Amelia insists that the two of them enjoy the prebooked Hawaiian honeymoon, which would be wasted on the unwell newlyweds, Olive is sure this will be the worst vacation ever. Instead, she finds herself having fun and rethinking her enmity with Ethan, who slowly reveals himself to be a genuinely decent guy. Lauren brilliantly wields familiar rom-com tropes enemies to lovers, fake marriage, even height differences to craft a delightful romance that will have readers hanging on every word.
Customer Reviews
Laughed out loud
Loved this book, I think my fav of author
I wanted to love it, have to be honest though, I didn’t like it..
I feel like a real minority, but I seriously don’t understand the hype?! This book got bad and just kept getting worse. I didn’t even want them to end up together, he was horrible. And it just got so over the top dramatic, I struggled to finish it.. do not recommend
Enjoyable
A very light, easy and enjoyable read!
