Witty and downright hilarious . . . a perfect feel-good romantic comedy - Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient A New York Times and USA Today Bestseller! Discover a witty and swoonworthy romance from the New York Times bestselling duo behind Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating and Roomies. Perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jo Watson, and Jasmine Guillory. For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetime...

Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin. Her identical sister, Ami, seemingly wins everything, from competitions to the heart of her dream man. Olive, on the other hand, is perpetually moving from one unlucky mishap to the next. As Ami prepares for her perfect wedding, Olive braces herself to face her nemesis, Ethan Thomas, the best man.

When the wedding party experiences an unexpected bout of food poisoning, the all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Maui is suddenly up for grabs. In a turn of fate, only Olive and Ethan remain unscathed. Desperation and the lure of a free holiday lead them to an uneasy truce as they agree to take the honeymoon together, pretending to be newlyweds.

Determined to avoid each other, Olive and Ethan soon find that Maui is not as spacious as they hoped. Their efforts to stay away are further complicated when Olive runs into her future boss, leading her to spin a web of white lies that requires Ethan's cooperation. Forced into closer proximity, the lines between pretense and reality begin to blur, and Olive starts to realise that maybe being unlucky isn't so bad after all. As they navigate their fake honeymoon, she begins to question if the luckiest part might be falling for her faux husband.

The Unhoneymooners is a heartwarming and hilarious romance perfect for anyone who has ever felt unlucky in love.
