Honestly she irritated me so much I almost gave up. I mean, Nicholas isn’t exactly a sweetheart but.I don’t know, I think maybe it would have been interesting to see a little more of Nicholas’s thought process as it comes across a little like Naomi thinks the whole world is against her. So, firstly, Naomi in the first third of this book may actually be the most annoying woman I’ve ever come across.
However I have only rated this 3 stars as at times in the first 3/4 of the book the lack of communication is what had me tearing my hair out, and even though this is thankfully resolved by the end, it is still incredibly frustrating. I think what made this toxicity bearable is that both Naomi and Nicholas (eventually) acknowledge their wrongdoings, and it is with open communication that they learn to love each other again. I also found a lot of the taunting of each other actually quite hilarious, and laughed aloud multiple times at the pettiness and immaturity of it all. However, somehow Sarah Hogle managed to truly make me root for these characters who had both been spiteful and manipulative at times, which is quite a feat since normally I run a mile at stupid toxicity in romcom relationships. I really liked the fun, lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers premise, yet when I was about 30% into this book I truly thought both the main characters were going to be irredeemable and I didn’t see how the situation would convincingly turn around. Because now that they have nothing to lose, they're finally being themselves-and having fun with the last person they expect: each other.Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for letting me read an e-copy in exchange for an honest review. 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.īut with the countdown looming to the wedding that may or may not come to pass, Naomi finds her resolve slipping. Naomi wants out, but there's a catch: whoever ends the engagement will have to foot the nonrefundable wedding bill. And she is miserably and utterly sick of him. They're preparing for their lavish wedding that's three months away. 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. 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.
