The Unhoneymooners

You know how on The Bachelor they manufacture situations to trick people into thinking they've developed a deep emotional connection when really they just went bungee jumping after meeting the week before? Everything is luxurious, everything paid for, everything separate from “real life.” Actually, probably most will not know what I'm talking about. But this book is like that.This is my third Christina Lauren read. The Unhoneymooners is much more similar to [b:Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating 40189670 Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating Christina Lauren https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1526941489l/40189670.SY75.jpg 60023585] than [b:Autoboyography 28919058 Autoboyography Christina Lauren https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1490425916l/28919058.SY75.jpg 49135502]. This one is an enemies-to-lovers slow burn. It's funny and ridiculous. Really and truly stupid. Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed myself! I don't read a lot of romance, but Christina Lauren books are just cute.I wasn't crazy about the ending (and especially epilogues) of either this or Josh and Hazel. It feels a little shoehorned in, like “don't worry, they don't just get a fleeting happy ending, they're in it for the long haul!” I approach most romance with some suspension of disbelief and idealism. I don't need every loose end tied up. I also think it's funny that multiple Christina Lauren female love interests have names that are muted brownish greens: Hazel and now Olive. Holding out hope for a Sage.
