“But I’ve got news for Nicholas Benjamin Rose: if he thinks I’m not the biggest waste of time that’s ever happened to him, he’s got another think coming.”
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.
To be honest…. I completely DNF this book. I tried, and I pushed myself but when I got 2/3 through, I was done. It wasn’t going to pick up or change and I was miserable reading it. I am shocked on how it was recommended and had a higher star rating. The premise promises that you will read about two GROWN UPS playing obnoxious jokes at each other. It’s not what you get. It’s not playful, teasing or sexy. They are two prideful children who are rude, cynical and condescending. I could not stand these characters. Naomi is just so, so awful and self-centered. She spent the early days of her relationship with Nicholas lying to him and then got mad when he thought that’s who she was.
I’m really confused why this book is so highly rated. I could not stand this book, or the message behind it.
