en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2020

Recomandăm această carte cititorilor care caută o escapadă literară solară, unde umorul se împletește perfect cu tensiunea romantică. Este lectura ideală pentru cei care savurează dinamica 'enemies-to-lovers' și vor să evadeze, fie și doar imaginar, pe plajele din Hawaii. Găsim în acest roman o explorare savuroasă a contrastului dintre noroc și ghinion, întruchipat de gemenele Ami și Olive Torres. După ce un incident culinar dezastruos scoate din joc întreaga suită de nuntă, Olive se vede nevoită să plece în luna de miere a surorii sale alături de singura persoană pe care nu o poate suporta: Ethan Thomas. Ceea ce începe ca un armistițiu fragil pentru a profita de o vacanță gratuită se transformă rapid într-o comedie a erorilor când cei doi trebuie să pozeze în proaspăt căsătoriți. Stilul are ceva din efervescența prozei lui Angie Hockman în Shipped, fără să fie o imitație — Christina Lauren mizează mai mult pe interacțiunile de familie și pe acea tensiune electrică ce se acumulează lent între protagoniști. Spre deosebire de tonul mai explicit din lucrările anterioare ale duo-ului, precum seria Beautiful Bastard sau Beautiful Secret, în The Unhoneymooners accentul cade pe dialogul spiritual și pe evoluția emoțională. Notăm cu interes modul în care autoarele folosesc clișeele genului romcom — de la minciuna albă care scapă de sub control la proximitatea forțată — pentru a construi o poveste care se simte proaspătă și autentică. Este o tranziție reușită de la erotismul intens al primelor lor volume către o comedie romantică contemporană echilibrată și plină de căldură.

Recenzii

Witty and downright hilarious
Writing duo Christina Lauren are my go-to when I'm feeling sad. I read this one very recently, but it rose straight to the top of my list of favourite CLo novels . . . Full of fierce arguments, sexual tension and slow-build romance, this rom com would be the perfect choice if you've had to cancel your summer holiday but still want to feel the sand between your toes
I could have included any of the books writing duo Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings have written (you can never go wrong with them!) because they are all perfectly sexy escapist reads, but this is undoubtedly one of my favourites. You'll race through it and won't fail to enjoy soaking up the amazing summery vibes
Lauren brilliantly wields familiar rom-com tropes - enemies to lovers, fake marriage, even height differences - to craft a delightful romance that will have readers hanging on every word
Heartfelt and funny, this enemies-to-lovers romance shows that the best things in life are all-inclusive and nontransferable as well as free
Sassy and appealing, writing duo Lauren's latest endeavour is sure to please. A perfect read for beach or poolside, this is one hot summer story not to miss!
Will we ever stop falling in love with Christina Lauren's fictional men? The answer to this is HECK NO
Not only will this book make you laugh and swoon in all the right moments, the characters are also incredibly loveable
What a joyful, warm, touching book! I laughed so hard I cried more than once, I felt the embrace of Olive's huge, loving, complicated, hilarious family, and my heart soared at the ending. This is the book to read if you want to smile so hard your face hurts
A sexy, hilarious rom-com . . . Readers will laugh out loud . . . Perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory and Sally Thorne
Lighthearted, laugh-out-loud funny and all too accessible (as the many Torres aunts and cousins keep butting into Ami's and Olive's lives), The Unhoneymooners is delightful. Olive's initial dislike of Ethan, tempered by her slow realization of his good qualities, makes for a charming and enjoyable romance
