Synopsis
When your nemesis also happens to be your fiancé, happily ever after becomes a lot more complicated in this wickedly funny, lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy debut.
Naomi Westfield has the perfect fiancé: Nicholas Rose holds doors open for her, remembers her restaurant orders, and comes from the kind of upstanding society family any bride would love to be a part of. They never fight. They’re preparing for their lavish wedding that’s three months away. And she is miserably and utterly sick of him.
Naomi wants out, but there’s a catch: whoever ends the engagement will have to foot the nonrefundable wedding bill. When Naomi discovers that Nicholas, too, has been feigning contentment, the two of them go head-to-head in a battle of pranks, sabotage, and all-out emotional warfare.
But with the countdown looming to the wedding that may or may not come to pass, Naomi finds her resolve slipping. Because now that they have nothing to lose, they’re finally being themselves—and having fun with the last person they expect: each other.
Spoiler-Free Review
You Deserve Each Other follows our main character Naomi in a type of ‘prank war’ with her fiancé Nicholas, whom she despises, trying to get him to call off the wedding. She does this because the wedding bill is quite high and she can’t afford to pay for it if she cancels it.
During their ‘war’ against eachother, they become totally new people and find themselves falling back in love. Because of this, Naomi is reconsidering if she really wants things to end with Nicholas.
This book was a freaking roller coaster you guys! The first half of the book I actually had aches in my chest because I felt heartbroken for these characters. I physically cried so many times reading this book!
I found this book really relatable for some reason. It takes a lot to make a relationship work and this book really shows that. Communication is key and we really see that in the end. Throughout the book that’s really the problem between Naomi and Nicholas, but they overcome that and fall back in love once again.
The ‘pranks’ were very petty, but I must say, I really enjoyed it. It made for some great laughs throughout. It’s been a while since I physically laughed out loud while reading something!
Overall, this book really was amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone, but especially fans of Second Chance Romance or Enemies to Lovers Romance!
