Brokenhearted Charlotte is grounded in New York for Christmas. She just wants to get home and tend her wounds from her recent break up with her American boyfriend. As Charlotte attempts to work through her breakup, she runs into Anthony, who is working through his own breakup. Together, using a self-help book, they will get over their exes by completing tasks around New York City.

This novel is super cute. It is a book you will want to curl up with and read on Christmas night, or really any night. It is a great fast-paced read.

This was such a cute read - I flew through it really quickly while I was on a train ride commuting. The characters have both experienced heart break and the way they come together to form this unlikely friendship that blossoms amidst a NYC blizzard is just magical and adorable.

There's no denying that the premise of this novel is sweet, but it definitely wasn't one of the best books I've ever read. The characters were super annoying, and I couldn't help but want to reach through the book and slap some sense into both of them.

I really struggled to find something that I loved about this book, and felt really disconnected from it the entire time I was reading it. That could partly be because I was reading it during the hottest.summer.week. ever and it is set over Christmas but I was left wanting so much more out of this story.

well that was a very quick read. a sweet but totally unbelievable story of strangers meeting at the airport after both being dumped. they spend Christmas Eve in New York City. it was cute and made me smile. thank you to Kids Can Press via Netgalley for a copy of this book to read and review

I don't tend to read many contemporary novels, not for lack of interest, but more because I tend to gravitate towards other genres - contemporary can sometimes be too realistic when I am reading as a means of escape, but I really enjoyed this one.

Charlotte is getting ready to fly home to England on Christmas Eve after a semester (in high school) abroad in the United States, where she just had her heart broken. Anthony is a freshman (?) in college coming to surprise his girlfriend at the airport as she flies home for the holidays. After Charlotte's flight is cancelled and Anthony is dumped for another guy at the airport, they run into each other and decide to hang out in the city together, following the steps of a book that Charlotte accidentally acquires: Ten Easy Steps for Getting Over Your Ex.

This story is super cute and super cheesy but in a good way, and I love how Anthony and Charlotte come together and help each other through their respective breakups. There are both sad and happy moments, but it all seems to fit together nicely, even though the story takes place over only about 12 hours.

I found that while I was reading, I never actually wanted to stop (the only reason it took me a few days instead of just one to finish is because I was going to just read it on my breaks at work, until I decided that I couldn't wait the whole weekend to finish it up). There were some unexpected twists and turns, but none that I felt were uncharacteristic for the story as a whole, and it made me want to keep going to find out more.

I recommend this to anyone who likes contemporary YA fiction. It's a cute story (and a quick read) that is enjoyable and fun.

Kiss Me in New York is about two people whose heart is broken by the person they thought will be the love of their life. Somehow, the two of them met at the airport and after what had happened, they go for one night adventure by referring to the books - Ten Easy Steps for Getting Over Your Ex.

First of all, this is my first time reading a novel written by Catherine Rider. It is a very light contemporary reading. The adventure both of the main character embarks to - is wonderful. I love how they follow the tips from the book that Charlotte has.

How at first the two main character - Anthony and Charlotte were very awkward to each other. There is no relation nor love at the moment except sharing the same heartbroken cause by the person they thought would be the love of their life. Even how awkward they are at first, somehow through the journey they are taking together, they start to be really comfortable.

The plot of the story flows at a good pace. The only conflict occurs in the book was the moment when Charlotte went to a party organized by her friend (or so called a friend, I thought) who right now is in a relationship with her ex-boyfriend. But that was that. I'm hoping she could stand for herself. I do understand she is trying to move on but you know, you need to show how strong you are. That's what I want from the book, to be honest.

Overall, it's a good reading. I truly enjoy the adventure from the both of them on how to get over of your ex. I do know it is hard but eventually, you will able to overcome it and live your life happily meeting someone who is worth your time and truly loves you for who you are.

"Looks like a bookish crowd," he mumbles. "Theoretically, we should fit right in, don't you think?"

This was a super adorable book. I can definitely see it being made into a movie. It took me awhile to get into it but it's a quick read and once I got a few chapters in I read the book in one sitting. It's a light, fluffy read with no real angst. I loved the Christmas in New York setting. And I especially love Mistake.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Kiss Me In New York was absolutely adorable! The characters were very relatable, I loved when they went to the tattoo parlor,  I couldn't help but think about myself ( I have a few tattoos that im like yikes and need a cover up for them, knowing my luck my cover up would turn out crappy too lol ) Charlotte was a girl from England trying to find her a way in the world after a breakup from Colin. She is stranded at the airport and just wants to go home. The airport gives her a hotel room but she is upset and does not want to spend the holidays alone in a hotel,  She meets a boy who just got dumped by his girlfriend in a bookstore. Charlotte takes a cab and sees the boy from the bookstore, which is where the adventure really takes off. She has a book about rules to get over an ex, Charlotte and this boy decide to take an adventure around New York and follow rules from her book which leads them through alot of fun moments, she is determined to make the most out of her trip before getting back on that plane to head home. Anthony's been in a long-distance relationship for about six months now with a girl who's been away at college. But when he goes to the airport in an effort to surprise her, she dumps him on the spot, followed by a passionate make-out session with a guy she'd obviously been cheating on him with. Both heartbroken and stuck with nowhere to go and nothing to do on Christmas Eve. Using a book called Ten Easy Steps For Getting Over Your Ex, Charlotte and Anthony find themselves slowly growing closer as they go on one adventure after another. This was a quick and easy read, if you like light fluffy romances I would recommend this one. It takes place around Christmas, with snow! I mean who doesn't love snow?!?! It had heartbreak, laughter, misadventure and love. So cute! Thank you Netgalley for the free ARC ♡

I loooved this book. It was short, easy to read, very cute, funny and left me wanting more. What I loved the most was that everything happens in a day, making me fell like I was exploring New York with Charlotte and Anthony.

Entertaining book about a girl and a guy who join forces to try to get over their exes by following a handbook.

Pro: This was so adorable, and I really had fun traveling around NYC as they tried to complete the Ten Easy Steps for Getting Over Your Ex. I wore a grin on my face for most of this book, and laughed a whole bunch too.

Pro: Both Charlotte and Anthony were delightful and I know if they were real people, we would be fast friends. They also were great together. Their interactions and banter were quite amusing, and even when stuff got real and they got real, there was always this connection between them that was easy to spot.

Con: I was very excited when the epilogue featured a time jump. I love getting that peek into the future of my characters' lives, however, this jump was not enough to answer a BIG question I had. It was hopeful, so I wasn't all bent out of shape, but I wish we had jumped a little further into the future, so I could have had that closure I so needed.

Pro: I liked that Rider built in the possibility that there could be a future between Charlotte and Anthony. You would think that Charlottes's semester abroad is ending, she is going back to England, and "goodbye, Anthony", but that was not the case.

Pro: Both Anthony and Charlotte had great families. Charlotte's interactions are over the phone with her family, as they are in England, but you can feel the love and the warmth. Anthony has a wonderful big Italian family, but this is a difficult Christmas for them, as they are still grieving a great loss. The Christmas dinner was quite touching, and it may have brought a few tears to my eyes.

Overall: This book was exactly what I needed when I read it. It was so cute and adorable. It warmed me from the inside out and left a dopey grin on my face.

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review. I appreciate the opportunity.

I'm wavering at a 2.5/3 for this story. I love Christmas stories. I love one nights together, running around the city and falling in love stories. I love New York, especially at the holidays.

But this one didn't....quite hit the mark. I mean, it's Christmas in New York, and not one of the major Christmas trees are seen on this quest through the city? Rockefeller Center, South Seaport, none of the museums, Lincoln Square, none of the Christmas festivals are discussed (and there is one in every major park so it's not like they're avoidable.) It's almost told like it's from the perspective of someone who doesn't actually live in or hasn't experienced Christmas time in New York and literally all of it's magic.

Outside of that, I couldn't get past the constant "reading my look" or "having a conversation just through looks..." and then at one point Charolette even goes "we've only known each other a few hours how does he expect me to understand his look!?" right before he kissed her. We'll you have been all night....

Final issuance: Charlotte tells her ex she loves him at Lincoln Center. Later, she talks about doing it at Rockefeller Center. Just an edit that didn't get caught. Like all the missed italicized television show names.

As for the book itself, it's cute. It's exactly what it says it is — just like a Hallmark movie classic. Why Charlotte was in the city is a bit weird, but that's okay, and as someone who has to go to JFK frequently, straying too far from the airport is odd.

Also, I can't tell what the relationship between Anthony and his brother is supposed to be — not enough there to completely understand honestly.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a romantic comedy and doesn't hide from that but it's not overly predictable and the characters were both generally likeable. The plot is told through a dual narrative and sometimes this can distract but in this case I think it really worked. The two voices were distinct enough to be believable and it actually aided rather than detracted from the narrative. I found myself willing the good guys on and even came to enjoy the addition of Mistake, which at first I was hesitant about. At this point I should admit there was one point in the book where I cried my own tears (for all the right reasons) which I think is the mark of a book I've invested in. It's not a challenging read, so if you're someone who prides yourself on "intelligent" literature this may not be your cup of tea, but it is an enjoyable one and that's why I read novels - to relax and enjoy. Perfect for a cup of tea, a duvet and hiding away from the world.

What better than a love story set in New York? A love story in New York during the holiday season! The quirky English transfer student trying to heal her broken heart with the help of a hot New Yorker? I'm totally in.

This was a cute, super sweet young adult romance. I enjoyed reading about the adventures Charlotte and Anthony got into by following they book to get over their exes. There was some funny as well as touching parts in the book. I think this would make a great read for a teen or Young adult looking for a romantic book. Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy for my honest review.

This book felt a little like the Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight...it was similar, but different enough that I enjoyed it without feeling like it was too similar.
Charlotte fell too hard too fast and gets dumped hard and fast by an arsehole. She's naïve, but in a cute and quirky way.
Much like Charlotte, Anthony fell hard and fast. And...got dumped similarly.
Charlotte and Anthony meet in an airport and spend the book exploring NYC on Christmas Eve/Day.
It's cute, it's light, it's easy to read. Great little read.

A super cute love story, but is way more than just a love story.

I love reading book set in Christmas time.
It deals like I said before with much more than a cliche romance.
Both main characters are getting through a break-up.
Because they are both in kind of the same situation they get and support each other.
It is a story about hope, finding yourself and a cute dog ;)

Kiss Me in New York takes place in the Big Apple on Christmas Eve. It is a sweet, if formulaic, romance especially for the Holiday Season. I adore the cover art which captures the feel of the book exactly. Recommended for readers of romance who like a light, quick read.

I enjoyed the concept, but it seemed a little crazy that a girl would willing go out in the city with a guy she didn't know. The middle became a little redundant. It did pick up towards the end and finished on a high note.

I don't normally read this genre of book (contemporary romance) but I thought I'd give it a whirl, see if my mind has changed. Overall, this was a cute book. It wasn't anything overly memorable, but I finished it in three sittings. The premise is neat and the characters are certainly likeable. I found myself rooting for them to get together in the end. Rider does a really good job in painting NYC in this novel. My knowledge of the city ends with google maps, TV and movies, but she wrote a rich world I had no problem visualizing. My only thing is I wonder if this might have been better suited with older characters (early twenties instead of late teens)? Either way, I enjoyed it and know a friend who would be all over this.
