This is a lovers-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers rom-com. But somehow in the process Naomi realizes she is having fun with the person she least expects to: her fiancé. So the two start to try to drive the other one to leave.
The only problem? Who ever calls off the big day must heft over the big bill. This rom-com is not for the faint of heart.Naomi and Nicholas want to break off their engagement.
Hogle has a gift for detail and narrative flow, but many readers will grow frustrated by Naomi's voice, which alternates between snarkiness and whininess. Though the couple's shenanigans are written as humorous fun that help them rediscover the joy of their relationship and slowly bring them back together, the pranks themselves frequently verge on gaslighting and actual cruelty: Naomi sabotages Nick's business and breaks his phone, Nick berates Naomi and dangles the potential of him having an affair in her face. Instead, they embark on an all-out prank war as each tries to get the other to end things first. And Nick and Naomi have grown to loath one another as well, but have kept that a secret since neither can break the engagement without incurring massive bills and embarrassment. Naomi despises Deborah and Nick can't stand Naomi's artsy work friends. Almost two years after Naomi Westfield and Nicholas Rose's first date, the picture perfect couple is engaged and Nick's overbearing mother, Deborah, is planning their wedding. With a narrator readers will either love or hate, Hogle's over-the-top debut takes the progression of lovers-to-enemies (and back to lovers) to an unbelievable extreme. Because now that they have nothing to lose, they're finally being themselves-and having fun with the last person they expect: each other. 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.
