The Unhoneymooners is a romance of a totally different kind. With undertones reminiscent of Moonlighting or Cheers, Christina Lauren's novel is hilarious and emotional. I read the book in two days - couldn't put it down.

The Title/Cover Draw:
I generally love Christina Lauren books. A lot of people loved this one and talked about it and it seemed like the perfect rom-com to start 2021.
What I liked:
While the premise is not totally original, the execution was pretty funny and well done. I am thankful that you don’t hate the guy for being a jerk in the beginning. The overall discussion of fate and coincidences this book has is very insightful.
What I didn’t like:
Some details about what happened to Olive in the past were missing for me and the characters were not as memorable as I would have liked.
The Characters:
Olive and Ethan are stuck together at the hotel. Her twin sister is Ami (who was supposed to be on her honeymoon instead) and her husband is Dean. There is also a fun cousin named Diego as well.
The Ending:
In the epilogue, there was this whole thing about where they end up. Most of it was not necessary and I was looking to see if Olive actually fully realized what she wanted to do at the end in a certain area of her life (that I won’t say because of spoilers). But it does end in a place that wasn’t cliched and logical, which I really respected.
Narrator:
Cynthia Farrell and Deacon Lee both narrate. Both were clean even at high speeds and very good at changing for the characters.
Consider if you like:
Rom-coms that are love/ hate or just a fun time about vacation!
All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Enemies to lovers y fake dating? SÍ
LO QUE SÍ:
Una historia simple, sin grandes pretensiones que te saca una risa de vez en cuando. Protas carismáticos y secundarios muy entrañables. Es ligero, con summer vibes y perfecto para desconectar o salir de un bloqueo. La segunda mitad del libro me encantó, se abrió una trama que me tuvo enganchadísima hasta el final. Muy similar a The Hating Game o The Spanish Love Deception.
LO QUE NO:
Lleno de clichés nada originales y una trama super predecible. La primera mitad del libro se me hizo aburrida. No había un motivo real para que los protas se odiaran al principio, por ello, no fue muy creíble el enemies to lovers. NO HAY NADA DE SMUT Y A MI ESTE LIBRO ME LO VENDIERON COMO SUPER SPICY Y NO. Quiero leer porno joe.
En conclusión, bastante meh la primera mitad del libro, interesante la segunda mitad. Cuqui en lineas generales pero 0 smut.
