Did you know Christina Lauren isn’t one person? It’s actually two friends, Christina and Lauren that co-write romance novels together.
Clever, right?!

Christina Lauren Books: The Best & In Order
Below are all of the Christina Lauren books I’ve read and the order I’d recommend you read them. Ranked from my favourite down to my least favourite.
Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
Macy Sorensen has built a stable, if emotionless, life as a paediatrics resident engaged to a reliable fiancé. But everything shifts when she crosses paths with Elliot Petropoulos, her first love and closest friend from years past. Told through alternating timelines, their story traces a deep connection born from shared summers and a love of books, shattered by heartbreak on the night Elliot confessed his feelings. Now, Elliot is determined to uncover the truth behind Macy’s silence and rekindle the powerful love they once shared.
My Rating: ★★★★
I’ve seen this book highly recommended on TikTok and took it with me to Bali. As it sounded like the perfect beach read. And it was. However, it wasn’t one of my favourite books ever and I wouldn’t rank it as one of my top romance novels. It was cute, an easy read, and I enjoyed how it was told in the past and present tense.

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
Olive, perpetually unlucky in life, finds herself stuck with her sworn enemy Ethan during her twin sister’s wedding. When food poisoning takes out the entire wedding party except Olive and Ethan, the two begrudgingly team up to claim an all-expenses-paid honeymoon in Hawaii. Forced to fake being newlyweds when Olive encounters her future boss, their mutual hatred starts to shift, and Olive begins to wonder if her luck might finally be changing.
My Rating: ★★★★
I had read a lot of mixed reviews for this book so was quite apprehensive going into this. However, I was actually pleasantly surprised. After reading a few not-so-good books, I was so glad that this was a page-turner. And kept drawing me back to find out what was going to happen next. I was fully invested in the characters and the outcome of the story. So, I would definitely recommend this for a romance-genre book. And I’ve learnt that I shouldn’t always believe all of the reviews I read online. As everyone’s taste in books is so different.

Dating You Hating You by Christina Lauren
Carter and Evie hit it off after a hilariously awkward Halloween party, but their budding romance faces a major obstacle when they discover they’re rival agents in Hollywood. Things take a turn for the worse when their agencies merge. Forcing them to compete for the same position. What begins as a promising relationship spirals into a chaotic battle of sabotage, as these two professionals struggle to keep their feelings—and their antics—in check.
My Rating: ★★★
So comparing Dating You Hating You to other romance books I’ve read recently, this one comes up quite mediocre. However, I know Christina Lauren has a very wide catalogue of books, so I’m happily making my way through them one at a time. This enemies to lovers trope was effective, and I enjoyed the Hollywood element, but sometimes it did come across as a little childish and unrealistic.

Maelyn Jones feels stuck in her life, but her annual Christmas trip to a Utah cabin with family friends is a bright spot—until she makes a desperate wish for happiness and wakes up trapped in a time loop, reliving the holiday over and over. As she navigates a love triangle, unexpected mishaps, and her own desires, Mae must figure out how to break free and discover what truly makes her happy.
My Rating: ★★★
I’m slowly making my way through Christina Lauren books, so had to read this one during the holiday season. It was somewhat of a Ground-hog Day novel so I knew what to expect, but it was still an enjoyable and entertaining read, so I’d recommend for the Christmas season.
