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.

Review: The Unhoneymooners is an absolutely delicious book. Olive and Ethan are a riot, both separate and together and you'll never go one full page without laughing out loud at either them or the situations they find themselves in.
The romance, when it comes, is sweet and heartwarming, even if they both struggle with their own insecurities. All the secondary characters are great too, from Olive's sister that's intent to live life as cheaply as possible to their parents, who have not been on speaking terms for years but refuse to divorce. Each one of the details in the story is precious - in a fluttering, funny way.
The Unhoneymooners will account for a few well spent hours and leave a smile on your face. Totally recommended.
Happy readings,
