You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was very excited to dig into You Deserve Each Other, so much so that I preordered it even though I haven’t read anything by Sarah Ogle before. But with all those blurbs, can you even blame me? I mean they make the book sound like a real fun ride. So I was like, Duh! Sign me up.

And I mean I liked it. I think the author did a great job of telling a story, and honestly, by the end of the book the love between Nicholas and Naomi was basically palpable, sweet and bursting off the pages like one of those 3D cardboards inside a kids’ book. I loved the ending.

But the first half was me pretty much cringing and feeling sorry for either or both of them (mostly Nicholas). Though I felt like Naomi had very valid reasons for her hurt feelings, I just got sick of everything being a huge misunderstanding that kept on going and going without not even a tiny amount of effort into righting wrongs. I mean I understand why this could be a good plot resource but in my opinion, it just felt endless, I was tired of it by the first quarter.

Anyway, it’s better if you form your own opinion, I have seen a great amount of reviews that seem to love this book. And maybe it’s wonderful and lovely, and maybe it is just me who wanted something happier for these uncertain times.
