Reviews with content warning for Infidelity - The Unhoneymooners

This book is an easy read, pretty entertaining in the first half, but loses momentum quickly and has a pretty problematic plot as far as the romance goes. It’s enemies to lovers/misunderstandings, but it’s over-simplified and doesn’t have realistic “obstacles” for the characters.

Spoiler

way too much victim blaming and not believing the main character when her brother in law comes onto her. It’s reconciled at the end, but totally just glosses over it like it was a small misunderstanding. all the trust flew out the window and it’s like “nbd, he’s still so cute” like what. Also, I don’t like how many people took low blows at the main character’s personality—she also gets fired from a much-needed job because of this dude and I didn’t feel like that way necessary.

. Would not rec this book—read a summary, and save your time.

I truly feel no strong feelings towards this book I enjoyed reading it.

SPOILERS AHEAD

I think that Olive really needed the character development.

Also was Ethan completely dumb he thought that Dane leaving Ami on things like valentine’s day and their anniversary ment that Dane though that they had nothing planned??? And that they weren’t serious until HE PROPOSED!! Was he even listening to the bull shit he was spewing??

And when she saw her future boss why didn’t she pretend to be Ami and be like “yeh sorry definitely not Olive I’m Ami her twin sister” I feel like that would of work out 1000 times better?? Or am I just being dumb and that wouldn’t of worked??

I think Ethan proposing was cute. I think that books don’t always have to end with them getting engaged or married or having a baby but I think it fit for this one. You know with them being back where it started it’s cute.

it's not a bad book, perse. it's... readable. the overall concept is really good and i love a good enemies to lovers, but the execution was mediocre at best. the whole enemies to lovers trope wasn't written that well and when the plot twist came i was not surprised (and it felt like a waste of time.) there were a lot of stereotypes in the book that i didn't like at all. it was borderline lesbophobic w comments that were made abt ximena and the only confirmed gay character just felt like he was included for diversity points? how the authors portrayed him... i'm not going to get into how they portrayed olive's body since one of the authors is plus sized so they can probably speak on that. what they can't speak on is the hispanic culture (the main character is hispanic.) both authors are white and whilst i have no issue w culture being included, what bothers me is how they included it. we got a surname, a few spanish words, some stereotypes and that was it. it added nothing to the plot. don't get me started on ethan/olive's relationship and the portrayal of dane/ami. it's sanist too btw.
