The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Synopsis: Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in…well, everything. Her identical twin sister Ami, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Her meet-cute with her fiancĂ© is something out of a romantic comedy (gag) and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of Internet contests (double gag). Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.
Olive braces herself to get through 24 hours of wedding hell before she can return to her comfortable, unlucky life. But when the entire wedding party gets food poisoning from eating bad shellfish, the only people who aren’t affected are Olive and Ethan. And now there’s an all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Hawaii up for grabs.
Putting their mutual hatred aside for the sake of a free vacation, Olive and Ethan head for paradise, determined to avoid each other at all costs. But when Olive runs into her future boss, the little white lie she tells him is suddenly at risk to become a whole lot bigger. She and Ethan now have to pretend to be loving newlyweds, and her luck seems worse than ever. But the weird thing is that she doesn’t mind playing pretend. In fact, she feels kind of... lucky.
My Thoughts: Oh my gosh this was so doggone funny! A genius idea for a story! I loved how Olive and Ethan were the only ones who didn't get sick and wound up going on the honeymoon vacation in spite of how much they loathed each other! It didn't take rocket science to figure out how the story was gonna go somewhat from here but the adventure and the mishaps in between sure were fun! Although the real fun actually started when they got back home and everything had changed between them. If you haven't already read this what are you waiting for?!!!
