I started this thinking it was a regular romance novel... and it's anything but a traditional romance. The main character is young -- early twenties -- and it helped me to remember that. Let's Try This Again is a book about a young woman developing her identity and the men that are part of that. It's roughly a novel about a woman torn between two men, but when I reflect on it, it seems more about a woman who is young and can't decide what she wants until she does. And then the book ends. There's not a truly happy, ride off into the sunset ending, and I didn't want one for Josie. That's more an observation about her age and immaturity than how much I liked the main character. I'm not sad I read it, it was an easy, quick read, but not really my preferred style of book.

Sadly, I found this book unbearable.
I tried very much. But it was so hard. I hate to give bad reviews, but...
{really sad face}

Not my usual type of book, a good plot but hard to get into.

Not something I would EVER try to pick up again. 

The plot wasn't bad, bearable, at times even readable. 
However the characters were nutcases, hard to relate and understand and very, very easy to hate. Yes, HATE. The protagonist, Josie, through the entirety of the book although deeming it wrong kept slut-shaming and degrading other women. I mean, don't we have enough of that already in the real world, why must you add it in a fictional novel too? 

“Let’s just say that if people found out she had a ‘Customer Parking Here’ tramp stamp tattoo, no one would be shocked.” - WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!

This is just one of the quotes someone generously uploaded on goodreads but the book is filled with scenes and lines like these which infuriated me to the extent that I actually wanted to dnf this book - something I never do.  

Keeping all that aside, I finished it. I kept reading it and controlling the anger I felt bubbling inside me. But here's the thing: There was too much going wrong for this book. 
It was unrealistic in so many aspects of it; Josie moving to the west and getting a job as a PA, just like that! WOW! So believable. Even though the author included sex in the book, at times it wasn't described, rather left to the reader's imagination by saying how good it was. Then why include it? You could've just written 'sex scene' and let the reader envisage what happened. The ending wasn't developed and could've been a whole lot better as well. 

Overall, it was a disappointing, definitely worthy of a dnf read for me whereas I was hoping for a light-hearted romantic comedy.

Let's Try This Again was such a sweet book. The main character Josie, reminded me so much of a friend of mine, it was insane. Josie had an incredibly rough on and off again relationship with Issac. Issac.. well he's one of those guys that keeps you waiting on your toes. The guy who makes you walk on eggshells spread on a tightrope with a "maybe if you do this, I won't have to say "maybe" to you anymore and leave you hanging. Finally, Josie saw the light and actually told herself to stop walking on that tightrope. So she cut it and let herself swing into a new life, one across the country in California. It was amazing to see her going through this transformation of finding out what she wanted to do, and what she didn't want to do. She had some major bumps in her way, a guy that fell in love with her. A love without expectations or strings. And she found her voice at the end, she found out what she really wanted. All of the characters in this book were great, even Isaac. Carter was so great and I loved how he selflessly loved someone who wasn't quite sure of what kind of love she wanted. Molly and Ellie, Josie's best friends - the kind of friends every girl on the planet needs, were so hilyand just all around great. I really enjoyed this book, and am so happy to have had the opportunity to read it! I hope everyone loves it as much as I did.

This book just didn't work for me.  I tried to get into the characters, however, the plot was just off.  The main character was funny and her in her head conversations were funny, but it just dragged on for me.

First, I'd like to say that I really loved the cover illustration and it was the incentive for me to read this book.In this story we meet Josie , a beautiful young girl who is having a difficult time choosing between two different guys, Isaac and Carter( oh to be in that dilemma). Isaac she has known for a long time and has fancied herself in love with him, but this relationship has been unhealthy and lopsided for as long as she could recall with hindsight.Carter is a new love interest and is the sweetest ,most patient person she has ever met.We experience her trials and triumphs as she makes the move to the next phase of her life, making new friends and getting new experiences under her belt.
My issue with Josie is her nearsightedness when it comes to figuring out her self-worth and who is worthy of her.Her self-esteem issues not only clouds her judgments and actions but parlays into a kind of lassitude that keeps her from changing the dynamics of her relationships.I found it difficult to like one of the male characters, finding him manipulative even until the end.Josie's friends Molly and Ellie however were wildly hilarious and entertaining, and were the epitome of what a friend should be.I would have given this book five stars, but I found it dragging during the first 10% but picked up the pace only to disappoint with the ending. I'm also not a fan of the way the chapters were labeled, but I acknowledge that the thought was different.This is my first read from this author and I look forward to enjoying more of her work.

This book was funny and entertaining at parts, just not quite as much as I expected. The idea sounds fun but, for me personally, it just fell short.

All I can say that it's a light romance novel which I do enjoy reading it though I don't enjoy the plot that well. The main character says way too much when all I want more is interaction between all the characters in the books especially with Carter and Isaac also with her two bestfriends. 

All in all, I did enjoy it.

Woah what can I say. I am not going to lie I was a little put off by the fact this book had a rockstar romance. Those usually are not my type of books, however this one was not the typical rockstar romance. What I loved about this book was that the author really makes you fall for both guys. You see the good in Issac and Carter at the beginning of both of their respective relationships. Josie was so normal, she  sounded like one of my girlfriends and I felt like everything she went through was super relatable. What I really like was the ending, it was a really good twist and I can't wait for the second!

I finished reading Let's Try This Again last night and before that, I was super excited about this book. Sadly, it did not live up to my expectations.

I love New Adult books and am a sucker for love triangles, so I thought this book was definitely right up my alley. And for a while, it was. It's just that, I expected this to be a fun, light-hearted romance where the girl will find love along with finding herself. This turned out to be *too* light and she didn't really find herself nor love. 

I don't know. I guess I'm just disappointed by the lack of chemistry between the characters, although there were a lot of highlight-worthy quotes.

I haven't read a book in so long that made me hate it from the first sentence, make a book I thought I hate seem good, and yet somehow I finished this book. 
This book had so much slut shaming (though she states after using the word MULTIPLE TIMES how she hates the word and doesn't want to use it....and then uses it again. multiple times.) I suppose we are to think that the MC is amazing and awesome and has always been and doesn't care....but you do. Too much. And it's because you are TWENTY-TWO.
I will never get the phrase "Picasso of Pussy" out of my head and I will never forgive her for it. Also if the "sex was so good I couldn't describe it" well then...maybe you....and your "character"....aren't actually writers? Because good lord the writing on this was terrible. 
Also, the MC is supposed to be 22, and has "searched the East Coast for a writing job and none are perfect so let's go out to the West Coast" just. You are 22. Also, then she "has enough experience to be a former boy band's PA"? Yeah okay. 
This book was not written well — it read like a bad teenage fan fiction book or a teenager's faux diary. Seriously, do not recommend.

This book was not for me. I bailed after four chapters.

Josie's ex-boyfriend Isaac is suddenly back in the picture, and she's not sure if she should make the move to the West Coast like she planned. However, she bites the bullet and moves to California, where she meets Carter, a heartthrob who used to be in a boy band. Josie becomes Carter's assistant as he starts to re-launch his career, and her life starts to fall into place. Josie fears that she will cross the line with Carter, since he is her boss and she has a huge crush on him. She is faced with choosing between two boys: Carter and Isaac, and she's not sure she can make the decision. Read Let's Try This Again to find out!

This book is about second chances. When second chances don't go exactly as you would think it's time to start over and begin again. Loved it.

I had so much fun reading this! It was one of those reads for me where it wrapped up nicely yet I didn't want it to finish. I'm relatively new (again) at reading romances but, this romantic comedy was right up my alley. I thought it was cool and fun how the author tossed in references to not only music I know, but to pop-culture of our world into her fictitious book. I think it also brought another element of relatableness for her characters to the readers. Josie (main character) and her girlfriends are the kind of friends most (if not all) girls and women want and need in their life- the-ride-or-die-I'm-with-you-to-the-end- kind of friends. A real comradery. Be warned though, this book does have raw sexual tensions and situations that some may not be comfortable with. However, the story isn't about the sex scenes if you're worried about that; however, I do see their necessity to the story. The author did a great job adding in romantic sweet and tender moments for the reader - giving the story a good balance between a little bit of sex, romantic comedy, and sweetness.

I enjoyed this I loved. The premise it was intresting I loved the romance and relationship in this

While usually stories like this get annoying, this one kept my attention. The typical story of a girl who can't decide between two guys, the reader disappointed no matter who she chooses.

1.5 stars

***ARC received in exchange of an honest opinion***

I rarely give 1-1.5 stars, but I also pride myself for being honest in my reviews. So let me first start saying that I'm not giving this rating to upset the author (and I'm sorry that it'll pribably upset her anyways), or to disrespect or as ampersonal vendetta. It is my opinion and it has nothing else to do than with me giving it freely and honestly. Some readers think it's a disrespect to an author to give lower than 3 stars. I can't prevent anyone of being offended by my opinion, but I don't give it offensively or disrespectfully and we're all entitled to our own opinions.

That being said, this book was a huge disappointment to me. Not because of how it ends, but because of it as a whole. In my opinion, it could have been better developed and the story could have been more built. Most of the times it felt like it was a report than a story being told, because for me it didn't flow organically.

I actualky get what the author was trying to do with the story and how it ended, but for me it didn't work, not because of the "why" it ended that way, but because of the "how". I couldn't connect with the charcaters, soecially the heroine, whose behavior, in my opinion, was very childishly displayed in the book.

Was an okay read i liked it but did not love it worth a go
