Named a Best Romance Book of 2021 by Entertainment Weekly * Goodreads * PopSugar * Marie Claire * Real Simple * Insider * Vulture * CNN * Bookreporter * BookBub * and more! The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game in this witty, clever, and swoonworthy novel following a workaholic marketing manager who is forced to go on a cruise with her arch-nemesis when they’re up for the same promotion.Between taking night classes for her MBA and her demanding day job at a cruise line, marketing manager Henley Evans barely has time for herself, let alone family, friends, or dating. But when she’s shortlisted for the promotion of her dreams, all her sacrifices finally seem worth it. The only problem? Graeme Crawford-Collins, the remote social media manager and the bane of her existence, is also up for the position. Although they’ve never met in person, their epic email battles are the stuff of office legend. Their boss tasks each of them with drafting a proposal on how to boost bookings in the Galápagos—best proposal wins the promotion. There’s just one catch: they have to go on a company cruise to the Galápagos Islands...together. But when the two meet on the ship, Henley is shocked to discover that the real Graeme is nothing like she imagined. As they explore the Islands together, she soon finds the line between loathing and liking thinner than a postcard. With her career dreams in her sights and a growing attraction to the competition, Henley begins questioning her life choices. Because what’s the point of working all the time if you never actually live? Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne, Shipped is a fresh and engaging rom-com that celebrates the power of second chances and the magic of new beginnings.

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really adored this book. I love romcoms and this one didn’t disappoint. Parts of it had me laughing out loud. I loved Walsh and Henley’s relationship and I loved Graham and his back story. The ending was perfect. "

"A quick and easy summer read but nothing stood out so a bit forgettable. Yet most the time with these cute little romances I don't expect to be blown away so no hard feelings. The Unhoneymooners and The Hating Game were mentioned in the summary and that immediately let me know that this will not be as good. Also, be aware the audiobook narrated by Inés del Castillo was muffled even though it was a revision of the first.<br/><br/>We start with misunderstandings and past hurts that keep the characters from being happy. I did love the adventure of the cruise though. The post office was my favorite and I had to immediately add it to my bucket list. Still, it was too perfect. Everything they saw together was one of a kind and breathtaking and everyday perfection like the author was trying to sell this fictional cruise line. <br/><br/>Henley was an okay character. She threw a little too many pity parties I think I actually liked her sister more. Graeme was bland and it wasn't clear why he even liked Henley. And not to mention the side characters had no depth at all. Yet in the end, it was cozy, adventurous, and predictable in a way we hope it to be."

"Listened to it via Libby. Easy, fast read. I almost DNF because Henley's character was getting under my nerves but I'm glad I continued reading. The ending was sweet (career and love)."

"Loved this book!! The cover says “Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game,” and I agree but also thinks it’s fantastic of its own accord!! Great competitor/enemies to lover storyline, well-written plot, and fantastic and realistic characters!"
