The Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren
3.0

Imagine a Chip-and-Jo-without-any-love couple that starts to fall from grace as their TV personas start to crumble. Enter Carey and James, the “assistants”, to save the day by managing the friction fueled couple as they head out on their book tour to promote their book on, you guessed it, love and marriage. Behind the scenes Carey has been the brain child of all the design success they’ve had without any credit, and James has dreams of doing the engineering job what he was hired to do instead of make sure the couple doesn’t kill each other. While one couple falls apart, another falls together.

First off, I’m a huge Christina Lauren fan! However, this wasn’t my favorite. Tripp and Melly were annoying, and I know this was the intent, so this author duo nailed that!! I would have loved to dive more into Carey’s and James’ connection. I felt like I got to know Carey pretty well and liked her, but I felt that James’ personality was very surface level.
