Description de l’éditeur
'This book is the perfect dose of sweet, hilarious joy. It's masterful comedy plus tenderness, unique voice plus rich characters. Nicholas! Swoon! We are in love' bestselling author Christina Lauren
_____________
Meet Naomi and Nicholas: the Perfect Couple.
Their glorious, lavish wedding is coming up in three short months . . . and they are utterly, miserably sick of each other.
Unfortunately, whoever backs out first will end up bearing the brunt of the wedding bill. When Naomi finds out that Nicholas has been feigning contentment too, the two of them go head-to-head in a battle of sabotage, pranks, and all-out emotional warfare to see who can annoy the other into surrendering first.
Now that they have nothing to lose, they're finally being themselves. In fact, they're having so much fun getting on each other's nerves that it starts to feel like something else entirely...
Perfect for fans of Helen Hoang's The Love Quotient and Sally Thorne's The Hating Game, YOU DESERVE EACH OTHER is laugh-out-loud funny, painfully relatable, and bitingly smart.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With a narrator readers will either love or hate, Hogle's over-the-top debut takes the progression of lovers-to-enemies (and back to lovers) to an unbelievable extreme. Almost two years after Naomi Westfield and Nicholas Rose's first date, the picture perfect couple is engaged and Nick's overbearing mother, Deborah, is planning their wedding. Naomi despises Deborah and Nick can't stand Naomi's artsy work friends. And Nick and Naomi have grown to loath one another as well, but have kept that a secret since neither can break the engagement without incurring massive bills and embarrassment. Instead, they embark on an all-out prank war as each tries to get the other to end things first. Though the couple's shenanigans are written as humorous fun that help them rediscover the joy of their relationship and slowly bring them back together, the pranks themselves frequently verge on gaslighting and actual cruelty: Naomi sabotages Nick's business and breaks his phone, Nick berates Naomi and dangles the potential of him having an affair in her face. Hogle has a gift for detail and narrative flow, but many readers will grow frustrated by Naomi's voice, which alternates between snarkiness and whininess. This rom-com is not for the faint of heart.
Avis d’utilisateurs
A charming story
The book’s fantastic. Really. I love the author’s plume, I think she described everything so perfectly, it becomes just easier to fall in love with both characters. Although, I found it a little hard to immerse in the whole mood of constant fighting, and this period lasts too long for me, but it’s just my personal opinion. Doesn’t change my love for the book!
