The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren is a lighthearted romantic comedy that turns a vacation disaster into an unexpected love story. The novel follows Olive Torres, who believes she’s cursed with terrible luck, and Ethan Thomas, her sworn enemy and the brother of her twin sister’s husband. When a mass case of food poisoning wipes out an entire wedding party, Olive and Ethan are the only ones left standing.
Forced to take the newlyweds’ nonrefundable honeymoon trip to Maui, Olive and Ethan pretend to be happily married despite barely being able to stand each other. What begins as constant bickering slowly shifts as they share close quarters, awkward moments, and surprising glimpses of each other’s true selves.
Filled with humor, tropical charm, and sizzling banter, The Unhoneymooners explores how first impressions can be misleading and how love can grow from the most unexpected situations. It’s a fun, feel-good romance about opposites, second chances, and discovering that sometimes bad luck leads to the best outcomes.
