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.
Official Summary
16 January 2023
This book follows two characters, Naomi and Nicholas. Both are unhappy in their engagement. However, they both know that the person who called off the wedding will have to pay for most of the costs. Both determined to not get married or pay the price for ending the relationship they both decide to make the other’s life a living hell.
I have never really read a book like this before. This type of genre is completely new to me and I think I just might go and find other books similar.
I have never read a book where the characters are so spiteful and petty and yet human. These two are a match made in hell, literally. There were so many things that they did to each other that were just pure evil. In my opinion, the worst things they did to each other were the small thing. For example, Naomi cutting part of Nicholas’ desk leg off so it wobbled, would drive me insane.
I have a very hard time picking sides between Naomi and Nicolas as throughout the book I had a very love-hate relationship with them. They were both written as unlikable yet likeable characters. I know that probably makes no sense but read the book and you will know what I mean.
I honestly had such a fun time reading this book. It was light, funny and meaningful. It totally deserves all the hype it is getting online at the moment. You should give it a try!

Twice Shy
Maybell Parish has always been a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. But living in her own world has long been preferable to dealing with the disappointments of real life. So when Maybell inherits a charming house in the Smokies from her Great-Aunt Violet, she seizes the opportunity to make a fresh start.
Yet when she arrives, it seems her troubles have only just begun. Not only is the house falling apart around her, but she isn’t the only inheritor: she has to share everything with Wesley Koehler, the groundskeeper who’s as grouchy as he is gorgeous–and it turns out he has a very different vision for the property’s future.
Convincing the taciturn Wesley to stop avoiding her and compromise is a task more formidable than the other dying wishes Great-Aunt Violet left behind. But when Maybell uncovers something unexpectedly sweet beneath Wesley’s scowls, and as the two slowly begin to let their guard down, they might learn that sometimes the smallest steps out
