Reviews with content warning for Infidelity - The Unhoneymooners

I’m usually not one to gravitate towards rom-com’s but this book was recommended by a friend and boy was I pleased. This book was such an enjoyable story that had me giggling like no tomorrow. I loved following along Olive and Ethan’s journey and seeing how their unlikely pairing blossomed on this unexpected vacation!

I enjoyed this book a lot, it was cute and the moments between Olive and Ethan were very cute. The characters had development, even if Olive made me a little bit mad sometimes. The relationship between Olive and Ami was very wholesome and the relationship of the family really represented (as a latinamerican with a big family) how a latinamerican families behave.

Started off finding the protagonist pretty intolerable and I found myself rolling my eyes a bit, but eventually warmed to the story and characters as it progressed. A cute rom-com and fun palette cleanser after reading a heavy thriller and heart wrenching novel back to back! Would recommend if you're looking for something light-hearted and easy. Finished in a day.

Loved the Hawaiian setting. 🍍
It takes about half the book for the ice to melt in this slow burn, one bed, forced proximity, fake relationship, contemporary romance. About 75% in, Olive's life gets messy and unfair, but thankfully there is a Happily Ever After!

I was not a fan of Ethan continuing to call Olive by the wrong name, even during intimate moments (such as calling her Olivia instead of Olive). At first it was intentional as they didn't get along and were trying to instigate. But then it became cringe when they were falling in love and Ethan kept saying other women's names. Given his brother's cheating behavior, this was an ick factor for me.

p.102/25%: Wouldn't a scientist —especially one with a PhD in Biology— say sea star, as starfish is considered an inaccurate name?

p. 358/84%: OMG! Badass move by Ami!
