The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

2.0

This book has been sitting on my shelves for THREE YEARS and it had the AUDACITY to be BAD.
All I wanted was a quick romp of a rom-com. It didn't even have to be great, I just wanted a fun book to listen to on this glorious Saturday. And this was below mediocre. I have absolutely no faith in this couple-- he gives her a dirty look for like 1 second when they first meet so NATURALLY she must declare him her mortal enemy and make up how bad of a person he is, despite having literally 0 evidence. And then going to Hawaii and falling in love on a literal dream vacation is straight out of the Bachelor- I could fall in love with just about any attractive man while snorkeling in Hawaii, even if we had absolutely no chemistry, just like this couple. The third-act breakup was predictable and annoying (except for the part with Ami- we stan an organized spurned woman) and the proposal at the very end was extremely cringe. If your future spouse is roasting the shit out of the way you decide to propose, as you're actively about to do it, maybe that's not the best way to start off.
1 star is the bare minimum I can rate a book, this book gets a second one for at least being entertaining while I disliked it.
