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 themselvesand having fun with the last person they expect- each other.

I understand the hype now. Utter perfection

REVIEW cw: brief mention of bullying, mention of cheating (by supporting characters), body-shaming, manipulative parenting Naomi Westfield and Nicholas Rose seem like the perfect couple. Due to marry in three months, Naomi has been feigning contentment while their wedding plans have been usurped by Nicholas’s overbearing mother. Resentment has been bubbling and she's barely tolerating her fiance. When Naomi realises Nicholas is just as discontent as she is, the gloves come off. They’re both utterly miserable, but in order to ensure she's not loveless, jobless, AND homeless she needs Nicholas to be the one who calls off the engagement. Diabolical pranks, as well as emotional warfare ensue. But when they finally stop pretending everything is fine, their walls come down, and they start to remember why they fell in love. When they define enemies-to-lovers second chance rom-com, there should be a picture of this book next to it! I've had this book on my TBR for the longest time. I WISH I'd read it sooner! My only regret is reading it with a rib injury. The way I CACKLED laughing repeatedly at each diabolical observation and scheme. It was SUCH a clever twist on the second chance/enemies-to-lovers romance tropes to have them start the story engaged. If miscommunication were a book, this would be it. But underneath it all lies hurt feelings. Was it realistic? Absolutely not. Did I care? Absolutely not! The prologue was hilarious, perfectly capturing all the nerves and second guesses of dating. Both Naomi and Nicholas were people-pleasers in their own ways. Naomi had lost her sense of self and in doing so, mentally checked out of the relationship. Meanwhile, Nicholas just seemed to want a quiet life, so had long bowed to his domineering mother's every whim. There's a fine line between love and hate, and somewhere along the line, Naomi tipped over. The first half of the story read like high farce, in the best way. Naomi's acerbic observations of Nicholas and his family made me snort with laughter The snark was utterly fabulous, although sometimes more than a little mean. It was viciously razor sharp and each new way they taunted each other became more diabolical. Their dinner at Nicholas’s parent's house after Naomi declared war took me out, especially the 'handyman' conversation. As for Naomi and her co-worker's reaction to the 'oleander'? Hilarious. Speaking of which, I LOVED Leon and Brandy. Just when I thought It couldn't get funnier, chapters 9 and 10 happened. The entire car debacle felt like a scene from the BEST rom-com movie, and as for the 'farfaccine'? I almost choked (just like they did), I was cackling so much. But as much as I laughed, I also wanted to hug them both. The fishing incident and the aftermath in chapter 13 were beautifully written, perfectly capturing all of their vulnerabilities and fears. As for the revelations inside Nicholas’s bedroom, and then Naomi's realisation about everything he does for her in the following chapter? I wanted to give him the biggest hug. What a cinnamon roll. As was Naomi with her own demonstrations of love. I loved it when they started to truly open up, and spoke more freely. Naomi was perpetually self-deprecating. I LOVED the confrontation with Melissa and their teamwork towards her and then Nicholas’s mum. My heart broke anew with Nicholas’s revelation about their favourite eaterie, and then Naomi's job rejections. Their bonding over Nightjar, and keeping Deborah out of their home was an unexpected delight, and chapter 18 made me swoon. As for the following chapter, it felt so cathartic, and I haven't cried that much for a while (other than falling down the stairs!) The reveal of how they met was so stinking cute, and the end just tied everything up beautifully. Ultimately, this was a story about learning to become a team while being honest and open about your own needs, and I truly ADORED it. Utter perfection. Overall Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Heat Rating: 🔥.5
