The Unhoneymooners | 
so-soOlive and her attractive enemy, Ethan, go on her twin sister‘s honeymoon b/c the sister and the groom get sick. During the trip, they get rather close and realize their feelings for each other. Can they put the past behind them though?
I didn‘t really get the hype for this book. I liked the diversity in the characters, but not the characters themselves, especially Ethan. It had a happy ending, and I liked it, but not really how it got there.
pickOmg… I absolutely loved and hated this book!😂 you know it‘s a good one when you feel all the things!
pickThis one has been picked for the #TrappedonanIsland more months than once, including this one, so I decided it was time to finally read it!! It's been on my shelf since it was gifted to me by @Chrissyreadit back in August 2020!!
This was a fun enemies-to-lovers/fake relationship read, although I did get a lot of secondhand stress when various lies were being enacted! I really loved the banter between these two characters, and felt like most of ⬇
Trying to get back into the #WeeklyForecast groove!! The top pic is my current TBR, a mixture of challenge reads and random books from my list/shelves. I started the tagged last night. It's been a #TrappedonanIsland book multiple times, including this month, so I think it's time!! Salt & Sorrows and the Heyer are both #LMPBC reads ( @julieclair I forgot to tell you it arrived yesterday!!) and I am hoping to get to them this week. Save the Date ⬇️
@TheAromaofBooks you‘re trapped on an island with 5 great books! I wasn‘t familiar with some on your list, and I enjoyed reading about each of them. I picked two I enjoyed and 3 that sounded interesting. Enjoy! #TrappedonanIsland @aperfectmjk
pickThe typical 'from hate at first meeting to loving you forever' trope. As much as I dislike cliche romance tropes, the book was decent enough to not 'DNF' it. A mix of a couple of relatable and a couple of absolute jackass characters. A quick casual yet enjoyable read.
3.5/5🌟

pickRom com is my least fav genre. But wanted to read something light& funny before starting #october dark #TBR story line was funny and engaging but I couldn‘t connect to most of the characters. Like the part about the family. Overall an uplifting read with a good measage. 3.5⭐️ #readathon 9hrs

pickThere was some problematic things about this story, but for the most part it was a fun listen.
pickAdorable and fun, with just enough snark. Everything I want in a romcom!

pickliterally so good. i don‘t really like reading but i‘m trying to get into it more. i read this from booktok last year and it was so good i read it again this year. def recommend.
pickHaving to take your sisters honeymoon holiday with your enemy (the best man from her wedding)....and worse yet having to pretend to be newlyweds to enjoy all the benefits of the honeymoon your sister won....a fun enemies to lovers chicklit read. ⭐⭐⭐#christinalauren #theunhoneymooners #goodreads #litsy #thestorygraph #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookqueen #bookstagram #chicklit #amazonkindle
pickBook #40 for 2022 done! I love Rom-Com's but had gotten burned out on them because they can become very predictable. This book broke that curse for me, it was adorable, funny and relatable. Highly recommend
pickFinished my first #trappedonanisland book!
This was my first Christina Lauren book and I really enjoyed it. Having just been to Hawaii, there were a few things that stuck out to me. No way they weren‘t jet lagged going there and I don‘t think they ever put on sunscreen 🤣.
Other than that this book already made me miss Hawaii and I want to go back to Maui. I really liked Olive and Ethan and it really pisses me off when no one believes women.

So many places I love to visit. However Hawaii has always been at the top of my list.
pickReally enjoyed this one. A fun enemies to lovers story it kept me entertained during my flight ✈️ . Olivia and Ethan are forced to take a honeymoon trip to Maui even though they hate each other. Predictable in all the best ways 👍👍 . Had to include a photo of the puppy 🐶 I loved 🥰 petting in Calgary.
This book has been such a help. It‘s been a fun escape from the crowded airports and the delays. Spent the weekend in Calgary- first time back in 3 years! The weather was perfect- the book was perfect #blameitonLitsy
pickThis one was a good read. It‘s cute, the banter and dialogue were fun. It did start to drag towards the end, and a couple of scenes were just too cheesy for my taste. But I enjoyed it, I think it‘s a lovely summer/beach read
pickMy first read for the month, and I'm loving it. It was delightful, sweet with the right amount of smoochiness. A very uplifting book to brighten up my day.
3.85 ⭐ out of 5

pickPerfect fun summer read. Who wouldn‘t want to have to go on your twin sisters honeymoon that was already paid for! Fun read.
pickI'm not a romance reader & I went into this book skeptical. You guys!! I loved this book. It was funny, snarky, & lighthearted. I found myself loving this enemies-to-lovers story. I laughed out loud & really enjoyed the banter between the characters. Definitely recommend as a fun, summer read! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Also, my #bookspin square 5. @TheAromaofBooks
so-soI picked up “The Unhoneymooners” with high expectations. The overview of the book seemed really interesting to me: Two people that hate each other get to spend ten days in Maui on someone else‘s honeymoon! When I finished reading this book though, I was pretty disappointed. I wasn't invested in the characters and the main points of conflict in the book didn‘t make much sense to me. I‘m sad I felt this way! I wanted to enjoy this book.
2.5/5
pickFunny, witty and easy predictable read. I enjoyed characters so much and I love how the author combines both fake marriage and enemies to lovers troupe. There's not a lot to say about this book except it's a really good read when you are craving a good romance, and just wanna curl up with a good story and plot. Would definitely recommend for a light read.

First time reading these authors. I love it so far. 🤣
A new read! Just checked this one out and I must say it starts off funny and the author has got the life and dialogue of what my typical Latino family sounds like off the start . I‘m liking it so far. #christinalauren #booksfromtiktok #booktube #readingwhileonbreak #nailsoflitsy
pickI had so much fun reading this! Four stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickReally fun! I liked the main characters and for people who enjoy banter, pick this up!
pickSuch a precious book. My only regret is that I didn‘t read it while sitting on the beach. So many laugh out loud moments. This a perfect book for chic-lit readers, “I need a fun book” vacation reader or a total palette cleanser read. I totally anticipate reading more from Christina Lauren.
I‘m jumping on the bandwagon today. I think this is the perfect book to start Spring!
pickI liked this more than I expected I would. I don't tend to like stories where the couple starts out hating each other but it was easy to see early on that Ethan was merely hiding an attraction to Olive. And their sparring was more fun than harsh. I liked the characters, the story, the writing. Fun read. 🤓
pickOh my goooosh, Christina Lauren. My insides are cotton. Binged this book in a day, so easily, because well-written, cheesy enemies to lovers is just something so entirely consuming.
so-soI‘m ambivalent about this book. Everyone, including Olive‘s (the mc) love interest and her family, gaslighted her for her entire life. Every time she expressed an unhappy emotion, she was called “negative” & “grumpy”— no matter how justified her feelings were. I saw no chemistry, beyond the physical, between Olive & Ethan, but we‘re supposed to root for them. I can‘t do that. It was funny in a few places. Continued Iron Lake on my #audiowalk.
#ItHadToBeYou Day 12: Maybe not so #romantic if you are “unhoneymooners.” Another book specifically requested by 20 year old daughter last Christmas. 💕
pickThis book is perfection!! Christina Lauren drew me in with The Soulmate Equation and just completely solidified their position as my favorite authors. What an incredibly funny, flirty and sexy book! My first book of 2022 is going to be impossible to beat.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickA hilarious, light hearted, and easy read! “Enemies to lovers” tropes are always fun to read, and the banter in this book was HILARIOUS! Loved it!
Just got this one at B&N! Can‘t wait to start it!!!
