“You, Again” by Kate Goldbeck

You know when you meet someone and they just completely rub you the wrong way immediately? Ari and Josh had one of these meet-cutes. Complete opposites and yet connected by the same love interest the two instantly hate each other. When their paths cross again years later they are both nursing broken hearts, each cutting the other a little slack they find themselves stumbling into unfamiliar territory…friendship. Deciding that platonic friends-without-benefits is better than hating each other entirely Josh and Ari bond over dating profiles and Netflix binges while trying to help mend each other. But even with all of their best intentions Josh and Ari can’t hide from their undeniable chemistry forever. Everyone else in their lives can see it, why can’t they? “You, Again” doesn’t fall into my normal genre of reading (lots of spice in this one) but I did enjoy this quick read that helped get me over a slow reading slump. This book won’t be for everyone and though I can’t say it was a favorite of mine for the right audience and the right reader this will be a hit. Also, NYC as its own character in this book was enough to make me say yes, please. Who doesn’t love a festive NYC setting?
