A review by jackiehorne
Every New Year by Katrina Jackson
3.0
An emotion-packed interracial second chance romance, in which ex best friends and once-a-year lovers are stuck together on a long airplane flight. The storyline moves back and forth between multiple New Years' Eves of the past and the present, showing how both shy Jewish nerd Ezra and polished but conflict-averse African-American Candace initially meet when their best friends begin dating in college, and how the two keep coming together only to allow their overwhelming feelings, lack of self-esteem, and fears of losing their friendship keep each from admitting their true feelings to the other.
That this one step forward, three steps back keeps happening for almost twenty years! without changing made for a somewhat repetitive read, but Jackson's strong writing and evocation of feeling make the story worth it.
