So intricate, so beautifully written. This is a joy to read. I love how complicated it was, I love love loved Bowen's prose... this is easily my fave Bowen novel to date!
You, Again by Kate Goldbeck

All points given are because its a "When Harry Met Sally" retelling and I am a sucker for anything to do with that. That being said, I HATED the millennial vibe to this, MC was super unlikable and so "quirky"... idk. She felt like a stock character of sort of out there bisexual poly woman with dyed hair and a nipple piercing. Where are the normal romantic leads? Where are the rom com girls who DON'T WEAR weird clothes? God.
