Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “This gender-swapped When Harry Met Sally retelling is for anyone who craves romance novels with realistic and flawed characters. Ari and Josh circle each other for years in the kind of delicious, slow-burn tension that only comes from a well-executed enemies-to-friends-to-lovers arc.”—NPR

“Fresh, witty, and utterly romantic.”—Ali Hazelwood, author of The Love Hypothesis


A NPR AND GLAMOUR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Can they stop hating each other long enough to fall in love?

When Ari and Josh first meet, the wrong kind of sparks fly. They hate each other. Instantly.

A free-spirited, struggling comedian who likes to keep things casual, Ari sublets, takes gigs, and she never sleeps over after hooking up. Born-and-bred Manhattanite Josh has ambitious plans: Take the culinary world by storm, find The One, and make her breakfast in his spotless kitchen. They have absolutely nothing in common . . . except that they happen to be sleeping with the same woman.

Ari and Josh never expect their paths to cross again. But years later, as they’re both reeling from ego-bruising breakups, a chance encounter leads to a surprising connection: friendship. Turns out, spending time with your former nemesis is fun when you’re too sad to hate each other—and too sad for hate sex.

As friends-without-benefits, they find comfort in late-night Netflix binges, swiping through each other’s online dating profiles, and bickering across boroughs. It’s better than romance. Until one night, the unspoken boundaries of their platonic relationship begin to blur. . . .

With sharp observations and sizzling chemistry, You, Again explores the dynamics of co-ed friendship in this sparkling romantic comedy of modern love in all its forms.

    I definitely see the similarities between When Harry met Sally and this book. Just a loving nod to a great movie but loved the modernization of the story. Ari and Josh are acquaintances, then great friends but can that translate to lovers?
  • You, Again did not disappoint

    Unlikable characters who do lots of drugs. Mid. I did like that the main characters meet through dating the same girl.
  • As my first Haters to Lovers…

    This was my first book introducing myself to this popular romance trope and I can definitely say I was as frustrated as they were. LOL. I don’t know if this genre is for me but I can definitely see the appeal. The back and forth doesn’t do it for me.
  • Rereading now

    Kinda trying to write this through tears and the sounds of Don’t Dream it’s Over playing on a loop in my head. I don’t have the words beyond this story got me through my flight, and I’m a highly medicated flying kinda girl. It hooked me in and eased my anxiety and was my matzo ball soup. Warm and fuzzy and terrifying and happy and all the real feels that love is. Plus the mess. Always the mess.

    Loved this story, felt like a new and different take on an enemies to lovers romance. Good writing, characters with depth, steamy - the best kind of romance book. Loved this one and couldn’t put it down!
