First, let me start by saying wow. I don't read a lot of romcoms (if this can be classified as that?), but I really enjoyed the friendships that occurred in this book. I started out loving Liyah, but after the first 200 pages, she got to be a bit...much. I'm not sure if it's because I can't relate to her trauma or whatever, but I can only take so much self depreciating jokes before I've had enough. Before I finished this book, I was thinking about buying a physical copy to keep on my shelf forever, but I don't think this is a book I'd be willing to revisit.

Thank you St. Martins Press for the free copy of this book.
- This book! THANK YOU FOR SHARING is exactly what I want in a romance novel: great banter, excellent tension, working to understand past traumas, and immense character growth.
- Every character in this book has such a big personality. I'd read a novel centering any of the side characters (but please please a book for Neen first!) I adored them all, even when they were being frustrating.
- On top of all that goodness, I've never read a novel featuring two mixed race Jewish adults before (plus Liyah is queer on top of that). I love that romance is a place where identity and and the tough conversations and experiences around it can be explored with nuance and care.
