This is the 3rd book by Christina Lauren that I have read. The Unhoneymooners like the others is an entertaining book that has some deeper character development/reflection than many rom-com books. Olive and Ethan find themselves in a comical situation due to circumstances beyond their control. It leads to many funny and somewhat predictable moments which are enjoyable to read about.
I felt many emotions about the different characters and I could relate to how different situations are perceived based upon our own notions. It is easy for 2 people to have 2 very different perspectives of what occurred in the same moment. I think of it like the saying, every story has 2 sides and then there's the truth. Humans tend to look at things from our own perspectives and our own experiences affect how we see/interpret something. Thus, preconceived notions or other people's opinions can affect how we feel about a given situation. This book is full of those between Olive and Ethan. It makes for a very good enemies-to-lovers and back-to-enemies storyline. Family allegiance also plays a very strong role in the plot as well. Overall I enjoyed the book and would like to read the follow-up story to it.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An enjoyable enemies to lovers rom com with a twist. The expected outcome is not what happens making for a great plot. The characters and their sibling relationships are well thought out and plausible. Anyone with a big extended family will laugh and find many relatable moments. I definitely found myself wanting to travel to Hawaii after reading this book.
