And it’s not just Robin and Neve who benefit from this, but all of the side characters too. I think this is the best part of the book, how much thought and care has been put into developing the characters. If it doesn’t make sense for Robin and Neve to act in a certain way, they don’t. They’re not cardboard cutouts being shoved into a plot progression that the author thinks they should fit, without any consideration to whether they do fit it-it’s Robin and Neve and their personalities that drive how the plot goes. Of course, this believability is, I think, helped by the fact that both Robin and Neve feel like real people. By the end of the book, they’d only known each other for about two weeks, but it didn’t feel like that, which is a hallmark of a good romance author for me. Probably a highlight of this book was their relationship, how it built slowly, and how it made you believe they hadn’t just met each other. But, as they’re sort of forced to spend more and more time together, each starts to thaw. Whatever the polar opposite of clicking is, they do it. Honeymoon for One is a sweet romance, centering on Robin who, months after having just been unceremoniously cheated on and dumped by her fiancee, realises that she forgot to cancel their honeymoon, and Neve, the ski instructor at the resort where Robin ends up, convinced by her sister to use the honeymoon on her own.Īt first, Robin and Neve do not click.
