![]() Each and every time I dive into the worlds these authors create, I laugh (OUT LOUD, people), I swoon and I get mega randy (these chicks know how to write a damn good sex scene). I have read a number of Christina Lauren books now and with each story I devour, I am left wanting more. When I dive into light-hearted rom-com-esque books, I seldom expect the level of intelligence, humour and sheer JOY that I was greeted with, with The UnHoneymooners. What I wasn’t expecting was such sharp, sarcastic wit and dialogue nor was I expecting just how brilliant the writing was. I was first introduced to their books when I picked up The UnHoneymooners purely because of how much I loved the cover (not even sorry, hey). ![]() Together, they are the internationally best-selling authors of twenty-eight books. ![]() If you are yet to read a Christina Lauren book, do yourself a favour and sort that shit out immediately.Ĭhristina Lauren is the pen name of writing partners and best buds Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. ![]()
