“You Deserve Each Other” by Sarah Hogle is a delightful and witty romantic comedy that will have you laughing out loud and rooting for the two main characters, Naomi and Nicholas, to find their happily ever after.
The story follows the tumultuous relationship between Naomi and Nicholas, a couple who are on the brink of calling it quits. Both in their late twenties and engaged to be married, they find themselves at odds with each other, playing petty games and trying to one-up each other at every turn. As their wedding approaches, they come to the realization that they may not actually love each other anymore and that their relationship may not be salvageable.
What sets “You Deserve Each Other” apart from other romantic comedies is its unique premise. Instead of following the typical storyline of two people falling in love, the book explores what happens after the initial spark has faded and the reality of being in a long-term relationship sets in. Naomi and Nicholas are flawed, imperfect characters who make mistakes and say hurtful things to each other, but underneath it all, there is a deep love and connection that shines through.
Sarah Hogle’s writing is sharp, witty, and incredibly engaging. The dialogue between Naomi and Nicholas is fierce and clever, with plenty of snark and banter to keep the reader entertained.

Overall, “You Deserve Each Other” is a charming and heartwarming read that will make you believe in the power of love and forgiveness. It’s a story about second chances, redemption, and ultimately, finding your way back to each other. If you’re a fan of romantic comedies with a twist, then this book is definitely worth adding to your reading list.
