"This small-town romance has a deliciously wicked premise: Naomi and Nicholas are engaged, but they utterly loathe each other. Alas, neither can afford to call off the wedding – so obviously, they must each make the other person mad enough to call it quits. Thus ensues a series of pranks and deliberate attempts to push one another’s buttons in the way that only former lovers can. And in trying to go out in a blaze of glory, Naomi and Nicholas find they might want to stay together after all."
