You Deserve 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. 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.

This had a couple of laugh out loud moments in it. But don’t count on too much here. The female character is 28 years old but is so immature. Her fiancé is 32. They both behave like tweens at times. Just sit back and enjoy the entertainment. As long as you treat this as a strictly fun read, you will most likely enjoy.
This book had me so angry at the characters in the beginning but made me fall in love with them the more I read.
I was getting ready to give this book 3 stars at the beginning but as I went on I realized that some of these math mental hurdles are driving the covid spread. For starters, many Governors, even 11 months in seem fundamentally unaware of how exponential growth works which is the underlying prediction threat of covid growth. Additionally, most people have very little familiarity with even the basics of how statistics work, useful in understanding all types of science research, for example in vaccine trials. Another example is the Swiss cheese engineering strategy which is also necessary to implement to avoid covid spread but many people and even state governments seem unaware of this.
This book is interesting both for people that do not understand math and for those that do. Those that understand math are usually unaware of how deeply clueless others are but since they make systems for people who do not understand- or at a minimum are fallible humans- humans are likely to screw everything up, possibly with fatal results. It's also a pretty entertaining book as the author genuinely seems to enjoy math and resultant foibles.

I actually was considering to drop this book at the start. But I am glad I didn't.

Naomi Westfield thought that she copped the best man for herself. They existed in their own soon to be "happy ever after" bubble. Nicholas Rose is the man who shows his love by opening car doors or getting back dinner for his fiancée and he comes from a extremely social family. Their wedding is three months away and Naomi knew she had to call it quits.
Unfortunately, it was established that the person who walks away first had to pay for the wedding costs. Then began the hating game between Nicholas and Naomi in a series of emotional and physical taunts since Nicholas is done with Naomi as well. But what happens when they start seeing each other for who they really are?

The first half of the book was just me trying to find a silver lining: I just couldn't get myself in. It felt too much like they were just out to see each others' blood spill. I don't know was it the back anf forth bickering or how much hate I felt from the book but it just wasn't appealing. However, the second half was way better. When Naomi and Nicholas somehow restarted from scratch, it showed that they're better for one another. I felt warm inside reading the thoughts Naomi had towards Nicholas. I thought to myself that re-loving seemed like such a beautiful thing to witness because of the glances, the intentions, the expressions. I couldn't stop smiling at Naomi's monologues and how Nicholas grew out of his shell.
4 ⭐️ because of the first half if not it would have been a perfect 5. I do recognise that the first half laid the foundation for the second but it really made me procrastinate on reading through it. Also for the kind of chemistry they have, I would have loved to read an in-depth description of the anatomy of them but what I got was semi-clean romance (and I feel cheated because the word erection isn't spicy enough)
Overall, the pace and flow of the book was good, I felt that the long chapters in the book were important to really understand the characters. Strangely, I didn't skim through any of the pages as I might have done to other books. I really enjoyed this book and I think I would want to see how a movie/show adaptation of it would be like.
We're going to have to choose each other, over and over, and be each other's champion, never letting ourselves forget the good whenever we're stuck in a patch of bad
