Named a “Must-Read” by TODAY, Us Weekly, Bustle, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly, Southern Living, Book Riot, Woman’s Day, TheToronto Star, and more!
For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetime—maybe even love—in this romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling authors of Love and Other Words.
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.
With Christina Lauren’s “uniquely hilarious and touching voice” (Entertainment Weekly), The Unhoneymooners is a romance for anyone who has ever felt unlucky in love.

Must read!
"This book is incredible. The witty banter between the characters is perfect."

— Michelle W. (5/5)
The Gold Standard of Enemies-to-Lovers
"The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren has officially become my gold standard for rom-coms. It’s sharp, funny, and irresistibly swoony, with the perfect dose of banter that makes the enemies-to-lovers trope shine. Olive and Ethan’s chemistry is electric—every sarcastic jab and reluctant team-up had me grinning like an idiot. What I loved most is how the story balances laugh-out-loud chaos with moments that feel genuine and heartfelt, so the romance never feels forced. The destination setting only adds to the escapist fun, making you feel like you’re right there on a tropical “unhoneymoon” adventure. If you adore enemies-to-lovers the way I do, this book is everything: snark, sparks, and a happily ever after that feels so well-earned. It’s hands down my favorite rom-com to date—utterly addictive, impossible to put down, and a reminder of why this trope will always have my heart. 💕"

The Perfect Summer Read
"This was an adorable novel! The characters were written so incredibly well -- so human -- where there was an apparent awareness of each character flaw, but they only helped and added to the plot of the novel. I would love to see a sequel!"
— Jamie (5/5)
Loved it! Honestly was
"Loved it! Honestly was a great rom com that helped me get out of a reading slump."
— Lexi28 (4/5)
A hilarious slow-burn romance with unforgettable banter, fake honeymoon chaos, and two enemies who fall in love in the most unexpected and swoon-worthy way possible—you’ll never stop smiling!
"This book was such a fun and easy read! The Unhoneymooners has all the charm of a romantic comedy with a strong female lead, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and a fake-dating trope done right. The story moves quickly and kept me engaged the whole time. I especially loved the chemistry between Olive and Ethan—their banter felt natural, and the way their relationship developed was satisfying without being rushed. If you’re looking for a feel-good, smartly written romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this is a fantastic pick. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys witty, character-driven love stories!"
— Jaelyn C. (5/5)
Very good book
"Very good book always has something going on fast paced"
