NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “This gender-swapped When Harry Met Sally retelling is for anyone who craves romance novels with realistic and flawed characters.

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’ll have what she’s having.

When Harry Met Sally set in 2023 and with some steam? What’s not to love?

Great flawed and complicated characters!

I love complicated and flawed protagonists! A lot of people are leaving lackluster reviews because they thought the two main characters weren’t likable, but I really love characters like that and loved seeing them both grow!

Such a great reimagining!

Loved this modern taken on when Harry met Sally. Josh and Ari were so perfectly imperfect for each other and the narrator dld such an amazing job brining them both to life!

The GOAT

I’m not much of a romantic. I’m pretty much ace by nature and circumstances. But Reylo fandom swept me up and made me, a born skeptic, and made me believe in true love.

I’ve read pretty much every Reylo to tradpub book there is, but nothing makes me laugh, cry, cheer, despair, and feel every moment of the characters’ lives and journeys like this book does. I can see everything happening in my mind so effortlessly, usually appearing as some sort of magic realism anime, and this book makes me come back, holding my breath like it’s all brand new every single time.

There aren’t enough stars in the galaxy for this book.

Really cute and enjoyable!

Love that this couple isn’t the typical Hallmark setup. They were refreshing and fun. And finally a sex positive female lead. Definitely like When Harry Met Sally but not a total fall set book like the cover suggests. New York definitely. And the narration was excellent.
