Genre : Contemporary Romance
Publisher : Simon & Schuster Audio Originals
Publication Date : August 1st, 2023
A perfectionist maid of honor and a carefree, surfer-bro best man team up to plan a wedding and end up finding a spark of their own in the first audio original from author duo Christina Lauren, a full-cast sequel to their New York Times bestseller The Unhoneymooners.
Ami is determined to break the Torres family wedding curse. Her own disaster of a reception ended with all the guests getting food poisoning, and she left her cheating husband soon after. But even though she’s still processing her own divorce, Ami won’t let her twin sister Olive’s day be anything but perfect. Olive may think she wants a private ceremony in Maui, where she and her fiancé Ethan first fell in love, but Ami knows better and secretly flies the whole Torres family out to surprise the couple. Now she and her meticulously organized binder have less than two weeks to get everything together for the big day, thousands of miles from home.
Enter Brody, Ethan’s best man, who happens to be living in Maui and insists on helping with the preparations. His playfully elaborate schemes and happy-go-lucky attitude are the last thing Ami needs. When sparks start to fly, could it derail all her carefully laid plans?
Equal parts hilarious and swoon-worthy, this full-cast production is your ticket to the ultimate destination wedding, bringing to life both a captivating couple and an unforgettable family. The Honeymoon Crashers is Christina Lauren at their charming, hilarious best.
This was an audio original that had a full cast narration with some
sound effects+bgm - so it was an audio treat!🎧😍 It's about the
length of a novella so I finished listening to it very quickly.
I honestly didn't think that we'd be getting a follow up to The
Unhoneymooners so I was pretty excited about this one as it follows
Olive's twin sister Ami a few years after her disastrous wedding.
So, Olive and Ethan are getting married in Maui(where everything
started) but have decided to have a low-key ceremony, as Olive wants
to protect Ami. Knowing this, Ami decides to plan out an amazing
wedding for them as a surprise and also flies out their whole family
for this😆 Ami thrives on organizing things and having to do all of
this in a short time has her excited. She doesn't think she needs
help but she's reluctantly made to partner up with Brody - Ethan's
childhood friend and best man, who seems to know everyone on the
island and has a laid back attitude that makes everything more fun!
But, will they be able to plan a successful wedding and break the
Torres wedding curse?😂
Pretty much everything about this one was perfect from the
narration(so delightful!) to the background sounds - that were just
right without being too distracting! It felt just like listening to
an audio drama. And the characters were amazing too, with lots of
humor and romance. Ami was an amazing MC and I loved seeing her get
her own HEA too after everything! She might be obsessed with
organization but it comes from a place of love - especially for her
family! And Brody is just right for her as she learns to loosen up
and go with the flow! Loved seeing Olive, Ethan and the Torres
family again! I think I'd have liked a bit more at the end
especially when it comes to details about Brody's life, but overall
this was very satisfying and I think you'd love this one too if
you're a fan of CL's books!❣️✨
