You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle
5.0
Spice level: 3 chillis
First of all, thanks to Casey from @through.thepages for buddy reading this with me - had a blast!
You Deserve Each Other is about our two man affianced love birds, Naomi and Nic. Except… they don’t love each other any more but neither wants to back out first because Nic’s mother (mother in law bridezilla) has invested so much money into the wedding neither wants to let her down first. Their relationship derails even further when they decide to make it a competition - who can force the other to break up with them first?!
The first, oooh, sixty pages of this book were a bit tough for me. I had thought it would be a book I just got straight into, but I found the writing style quite jarring. However, once I got past that mark and entered the part of the story where Naomi and Nic start to fight I couldn’t put it down! It was funny, fast paced and so so real. By real I mean the level of pettiness. That microwave scene… and when Nic yells down at his Mum - comedy gold! I swear, it has been a long long time since I grinned so much through a novel.
Read this if you liked: Red White and Royal Blue, The Kiss Quotient, House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City), general humourous enemy to lovers tropes
TW: overbearing mother in law, fat shaming
