  • So I've been wanting to make a video like this for quite some time and Christina Lauren has been one of my favorite authors for years, so I finally decided to make a reading guide video for them, letting you know which books of theirs are my favorite, least favorite, and where to start with their books. I also let you knwo about which books have which romantic tropes and things like that. Let me know if you like this kind of video and if you'd like to see more 'reading guides' for other authors, and if so who? I definitely want to do one for Taylor Jenkins Reid at some point as well. Which Christina Lauren book is your favorite?
    You can see all of Christina Lauren's published books here: christinalaurenbooks.com/

      I haven't and don't really want to lol. I prefer my romances more old school, paranormal & less chick lit variety.

    I would never have read them if I’d known they were based on twilight fanfic 😂 but I loved Beautiful Stranger. One of my favorite couples in any book. The Unhoneymooners is a close second. It was so good!

    I loved this video! I started with Roomies, and loved it! I love marriage of convenience in historical romance, so I was curious how it would play out in modern day romance, and I thought it was great! I’m really excited to try Josh and Hazel next!

    @RoxIsReading 4 года назад +1

    I read the Unhoneymooners end of last year and I loved it so so sooooo much. It's really good. It definitely got me interested in wanting to read some of the others, like Josh and Hazel and perhaps Roomies.

  • @addictedtofictionx

  • @MollyAdames
    @MollyAdames 4 года назад +1

    Gabby, I just finished the Unhoneymooners a few days ago, per your recommendation on your last video, and I LOVED it! It has some of the best snappy, snarky dialogue I've ever read! I just loved Ethan and Olive together ❤ Also I'm a huge fan of hate-to-love romances and the fake relationship trope. So thank you for the review! I would not have read it without you! :-)

    • @gabbyreads

    I've read Autoboyography and I really like it. I'm not a lot into romance but I adore your taste so I'll read The Unhoneymooners and Josh and Haxel's guide to not dating.
    Please make the same video for Taylor Jenkins Reid. I've read The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo and it's one of my favorite books. I wanna read every book by her. So PLEASE!!!!!!!!

    Love this video gabby! I just got into Christina Lauren novels. My first book was the unhoneymooners and loved it! And then I read autobiography next, and loved it. I just read twice in a blue moon last month and gave it 3 stars unlike the other two. The other two books I mention were 5 stars! I have two books by them on my tbr this month and that is: the honey don’t list & josh and hazel! Which one should I read first? Thanks for the video!😀😂

    Gabby can you do a video or give romance book recommendations on ones that aren't hate to love. I feel like there are so many hate to love and it's really not my thing. I am taking one of your recommendations from this video Josh & Hazels guide..

  • @jenkimberly1202
    @jenkimberly1202 4 года назад +1

    Gabbyyyyyy love your channel!! I know you LOVED unhoneymooners but I hated it 😭 I felt like it was so cheesy, the characters were annoying and predictable. I do love Rom-com movies like something borrowed is my favorite movie. Love Kate Hudson stuff. It was my first read by her, im willing to try her again! Help!

  • @Rowans99

    • @gabbyreads
      @gabbyreads  4 года назад

      Hayleigh S. The only Christina Lauren books with a lot of smut is the Wild Seasons series, everything else of theirs doesn’t have too much of it, maybe only a few scenes

Give it a try! the protagonist are also super HOT 🥵.
