It is an enemies-to-lovers romance (i.e., the best romance trope), and there is a tantalizing buildup to when they will get together.

With regard to the romance, it is perfect. There were a couple of scenes that had me laughing so hard that I actually started to tear up. Olive and Ethan’s banter is hilarious, as are their interactions with one another. While reading it, I was almost always laughing, or at the very least, smiling. It is such a charming, feel-good book with a cute love story and a healthy dose of humor. And I am so glad that I did, because The Unhoneymooners was precisely what I needed to get out of my reading funk. The description on the back of The Unhoneymooners, however, sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a go. I had just finished a book that fell far short of my expectations, and as a result, I was hesitant to start another book. Prior to picking up The Unhoneymooners, I was in a bit of a reading slump. 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.TLDR: A cute romcom that is the perfect book to either curl up with on the sofa or lounge with on the beach.
