THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews * Publishers Weekly * Library Journal Named a "Must-Read" by TODAY, Us Weekly, Bustle, BuzzFeed, Goodreads, Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly, Southern Living, Book Riot, Woman's Day, The Toronto 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 Roomies. 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.… (more)

A fun read. Sexy, funny, and interesting. Will read these authors again when I need a break. ( )

3.5 stars. A quick listen. Cute and pretty fun. What are the chances I'd accidentally read two novels involving identical twins switching places in less than a month? ( )

Such a fun read! Loved the banter. It was a cute story, believable plot and realistic characters. Light rom-com type read. ( )

I'm honestly pretty annoyed that being upfront and honest with a boss wasn't rewarded. This was pretty much straight up romance. I loved Olive's family the most and they added a lot of fun. ( )

Simply put, it's predictable with lackluster humor. I realize many will disagree but we're each drawn to different things. And for me, this was Budweiser when I prefer micro brew! Rather than detail why I didn't enjoy it, I prefer tact over criticism. DNF! ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
For Hugues de Saint Vincent.
Work like a captain, play like a pirate.
First words
In the calm before the storm---in this case, the blessed quiet before the bridal suite is overrun by the wedding party---my twin sister stares critically down at a freshly painted shell-pink fingernail and says, "I bet you're relieved I'm not a bridezilla."
Quotations
Defensiveness pushes aside introspection.
