You Deserve Each Other

What were your first impressions of Naomi and Nicholas? From the beginning, it's clear that there is a lot of pent-up resentment in their relationship—where does that stem from?

How does the planning of the wedding both intensify but also help clarify the true conflict between Nicholas and Naomi? What does each one of them want out of the wedding and marriage?

Discuss how Nicholas's family is involved in his and Naomi's life together. What did you make of Deborah Rose, and how does Nicholas's relationship with her change from the beginning to the end of the book?

Naomi's sense of self is also in flux throughout the book. When she loses her job, how do we see her self-confidence change, and how does that trickle into her relationship with Nicholas? How does he ultimately learn to support her and her goals?

How does the house Nicholas buys ultimately help him and Naomi come back together? What physical and symbolic role does it play in their relationship? What do you think the future holds for the couple?

How does You Deserve Each Other make use of the enemies-to-lovers trope, and in what ways does the author, Sarah Hogle, take it even further by making the hero and heroine a couple at the start of the book? What can this book teach readers about the power of second chances and the value of open communication?

You Deserve Each Other is full of adorable pranks and high jinks that help Naomi and Nicholas get out their frustrations but ultimately show their affection for each other. What were your favorite moments of one-upmanship or banter in the book?
