The Unhoneymooners

by Christina Lauren

The Unhoneymooners

A couple about to get married has plans but in some way their maid of honor and best man take the trip instead of the married couple. The maid of honor and best man hate each other how will they last on a trip.

This book was good in a comedy romance way. The people that go on the vacation argue in the best way and make the funniest jokes. By the end of the trip their feelings for each other switch.

Yes I would recommend the book for those that love romance comedy and enemies to lovers trope. It has so many different aspects that make the book really enjoyable.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

by Sherman Alexie

The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian

Arnold Spirit, Jr. wants more than his sad Native American reservation life. He wants to pursue a higher education, which lands him at an all-white school and pronounced a traitor to his people. He must now learn how to navigate his new life and learns to uncover a strength he never new he had.

I loved this book! It really reflects how racism is an ongoing issue in our society. The book was very fast-paced and had a captivating plot. The conflict and tragedies in the novel keep you captivated the whole way through.

I would totally, 100% recommend it!! The characters are so relatable and you're bound to have a connection to at least one of them. The only thing that might be concerning is the amount of profanity. There is frequent swearing throughout the novel and some sexual themes. There are also homophobic slurs occasionally tossed around, as well. I'd say the book is for more mature readers, around 13 and up. If you are sensitive to these kinds of topics or make you overly uncomfortable, I strongly suggest you do not read it. But, if you're a more mature person and can handle such themes, then by all means, read it!

You Deserve Each Other

by Sarah Hogle

You Deserve Each Other is a cute romance book that has a forced proximity trope. The book is about a couple that are both so perfect but they don't like each other anymore. They also don't want to be engaged but if one of them calls off the engagement they have to pay for the wedding expenses so they make a deal to become the worst they can be to see who breaks first. While challenging each other, the main girl has a realization and doesn't know what to do about it.

I chose to read this book because I'm a fan of romance books and I heard many people rave about it. After reading it, I was happy I did it's a good book that's very funny. All the pranks they do to each other makes you laugh. The book explains how they both were trying to be someone they weren't in their relationship and that's what caused them problems.

I would recommend this book to anyone that likes the forced proximity trope in romance. I think if people struggle with trying to make themselves perfect for a significant other then this is a good read for you because it explains how that isn't the best in a relationship and it's better to be honest.
