this book did some things right and some things fell very VERY flat. some parts were funny and others were very cringey and hard to read. i liked and hated the characters. not sure if i would ever recommend this. (also a message to romance authors, please stop using the exact same name for all male leads. thank you)

There are no words to describe how much I adored You, Again. Not only is it based on the romance blueprint (When Harry met Sally), but it is modernized in such a fresh and hilarious way. Combining my two favorite tropes (slowburn and friends to lovers) it feels like this was made for me. Ultimately, You, Again is a beautiful reminder that no matter how broken or flawed we may feel, we are all deserving of love.

My favorite romantic comedy of all time is When Harry Met Sally...so, this book was essentially written for me, so I'm not surprised that it kept me laughing and swooning throughout. I tabbed this one like crazy and my annotations are pretty unhinged- i wrote a paragraph of nonsense at the end of the third act breakup. I feel like this would've been a 5 star for me but at times I felt it dragging, or maybe it is just that it takes me longer to read thicc books lately, so maybe it isn't entirely the book's fault. I'll be rounding up to 5 on goodreads anyway.
