stacyroth 's review for:
The Honey-Don't List
by Christina Lauren
I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.
Carey Douglas has been the assistant to home design and remodeling power couple Melissa and Rusty Tripp for a decade. James McCann was recently hired to be Rusty's structural engineer and is frustrated that he is treated like an assistant instead of doing the engineering he thought he had signed up for. Melissa and Rusty have a new book out and a new TV show about to launch and are poised to become more popular than ever. What the world doesn't know is that in reality, Melissa and Rusty can't stand each other. When things come to a head right before their book tour is about to kick off, Carey and James are told they have to go on the tour with the Tripps to make sure the two appear as a loving couple in the public eye. Neither wants to go along with this, but they each have their reasons for needing to keep the job, so they quickly pack up to go on the road. Traveling the west half of the country in a bus, Carey and James have plenty of time to get to know each other as they work together to keep the Tripps' public persona positive.
This book ticked off a lot of the boxes I like in a good rom com, and it was well written. Something about it just didn't click with me, though. I liked it well enough while I was reading it, but I could easily set it down and not think about it for days at a time.
