Book Review: The Unhoneymooners
Summary
Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in…well, everything. Her identical twin sister Ami, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Her meet-cute with her fiancé is something out of a romantic comedy (gag) and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of Internet contests (double gag). Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.
Olive braces herself to get through 24 hours of wedding hell before she can return to her comfortable, unlucky life. But when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning from eating bad shellfish, the only people who aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. And now there’s an all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Hawaii up for grabs.
Putting their mutual hatred aside for the sake of a free vacation, Olive and Ethan head for paradise, determined to avoid each other at all costs. But when Olive runs into her future boss, the little white lie she tells him is suddenly at risk to become a whole lot bigger. She and Ethan now have to pretend to be loving newlyweds, and her luck seems worse than ever. But the weird thing is that she doesn’t mind playing pretend. In fact, she feels kind of… lucky.
Review
Why did I take so long to read this book?! It is so cute! Grumpy sunshine, enemies to lovers, close proximity, fake dating…literally all the best romance tropes in one!
I didn’t love that her sister couldn’t go on her honeymoon but what a great turn of events for Olive! I wasn’t sure how this would play out but it was honestly PERFECT!
I loved the relationship Olive and Ethan had from their arguing ways to their honesty with each other. I literally laughed out loud at parts because I could just picture this happening in real life. They have this funny banter that makes you keep reading. I flew through this one, it is that good!
Towards the end, we get a little twist of events and it was interesting to see both sides of the situation. You will be rooting for some people and smacking your head for others.
For as long as this book is, you will read it quickly! Enjoy!
