Not all is as it seems though, the storyline comes with twists and turns to keep you on your toes. With mishaps, drunken heat, pretense and a dose of fun, Olive and Ethan learn quite about their exes, their misread clues and each other. Olive and Ethan decide to enjoy the trip and do so individually until circumstance changes everything. A non-refundable and non-changeable honeymoon was about to be forfeited and was forced upon the two. They have never liked one another, and had been spared the food poisoning. I didn’t read my first one until 2017, an ARC of Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating, and I was hooked.Īn ultimate wedding nightmare of food poisoning brings an entire wedding down, with the exception of the maid of honor and the best man. Christina Lauren (a writing duo of Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings) have been writing best-sellers in both YA and Women’s Fiction since 2013. Not only did it let me escape to Hawaii, but it also kept me completely entertained with a good amount of humor. The Unhoneymooners was the perfect book to read on a cold winter’s day. But the weird thing is that she doesn’t mind playing pretend. She and Ethan now have to pretend to be loving newlyweds, and her luck seems worse than ever. 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. 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 the entire wedding party gets food poisoning from eating bad shellfish, the only people who aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. Olive braces herself to get through 24 hours of wedding hell before she can return to her comfortable, unlucky life.

Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.

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). Her identical twin sister Ami, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in…well, everything.
