From Goodreads:
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.
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.
Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
For the first half of the book I... honestly can't tell you what I was feeling. Naomi was unlikable. She was whiny and ungrateful and impossible. Nicholas was no different. They were both petty and intolerable. But I guess there was something about this book that I couldn't let go of? That kept me reading? Whatever that was, boy am I glad for it.
I had no idea lovers to enemies to lovers would be my new favorite trope. Seeing Naomi and Nicholas fall in love with each other again was EVERYTHING. I love how sweet and thoughtful and fun it was. After the first 60% of the book, I was swooning and laughing and I. could. not. stop. smiling. I was rooting for Nicholas and Naomi and will not have the book end in any other way but with an HEA. My heart is so full and so happy and so sappy and so in love with Naomi and Nicholas and their reconciliation. I love, love, love seeing them find their way to each other again.
Deborah was an evil b*tch. Brandy was awesome. I wish we had more of Leon. Melissa was bleh. Sarah Hogle is amazing. And I seriously want this book to be longer.
I received an e-arc to read and review via Edelweiss+.
