My favorite thing about the book was the representation provided by the main characters and that's literally where the book starts. It's not a hidden part of the story or just something the author threw in last minute. The identities of these characters are deep and present throughout the story. A fantastic debut!

This is a great book. Liyah and Daniel met 14 years ago at summer camp, but when they left they were not exactly friends. So when they see each other when they are adults there is a lot of tension and animosity, mainly coming from Liyah. When they have to work together on a project for work, they have to find a way to get over whatever happened in the past in order to make the time they have to spend together, tolerable.

There are so many great characters in this book. The author does a great job brining the Jewish faith into the story without overwhelming you. Normally I like the stories to take off a little faster but this enemies to lovers, slow burn romance was wonderful and I didn't want it to end.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this for free in exchange for an honest review.

This was a sweet little romance. I love a good friends to lovers storyline and a good enemies to lovers storyline, so I was intrigued when I saw Thank You for Sharing combined the two. Daniel and Liyah were one close friends until a falling out 14 years ago, now forced to work with one another they need to try and resolve past hurts and maybe even mend their broken friendship. I really enjoyed these two characters and wanted to see them in their happy endings, and enjoyable romance to read.

Really enjoyed this story! I adored how the FMC was the grumpy one of this book! The MMC was so patient and understanding of her rants or discrepancies and it was nice. David really won my heart! I absolutely adored him! I laughed so much in this one and found it easy to read.

I loved the blend of their two shared Jewish heritage and seeing how their lives were more similar than they originally thought. The romance was slower but I liked how they were friends and really hit to know each other before they began to take things further.

I would highly recommend this one to my grumpy/sunshine lovers and those who like slow burn romances! Thanks for the ARC of this book! I look forward to more stories from this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
All the tropes - I loved it!

This book was a pleasant surprise. You can say this a second chance/enemies to lovers romance novel with the lead characters Daniel Rosenberg and Liyah Cohen-Jackson’s met at camp as children, and have reconnected. While this a romance, what makes this book great is its diversity, the lead characters are Jews of Color, lgbtq inclusive and the writer's approach to the sexual trauma and grief of the main characters.

Really cute summer read. Enjoyable, easy to read, good plot. Definitely recommend. I will look for more from this author in the future!

Unfortunately I have tried to read and review this novel multiple times. I keep getting to about 15-20% and just want to put it down. I don’t feel appropriate rating due to not getting far enough in to form an opinion. I just don’t think it’s for me! My apologies!

This was a very good book. I enjoyed reading it. The characters and plot kept me interested. I would read another book by this author.

This was a very sweet story that I thoroughly enjoyed, but there were a few aspects that left me wanting more.

First, Liyah, while a very complex and interesting character, was INSUFFERABLE at times. She has previous trauma that is discussed in the book, and she does try at times to work through it herself. But she is kind of mean to Daniel the entire book? Not so mean that it made me not want them together, but enough that I was thinking if I were Daniel... I'd feel insulted and like she actually secretly hates me. I'm glad that her best friend, Neen (who is an amazing character but almost seems TOO perfect and sensible) calls her out on her BS at the end and holds her accountable.

Second, there were just some points that sort of dragged for me. I'm not quite sure what could be done to make them any better, so I wouldn't name this as a reason to not pick up the book, as some styles of writing just work better for me.

Overall though, there were enjoyable character, some emotional maturity (yes there is a third act break-up that could and should have been avoided, but don't all romance books have that?), and a sensible background plot beyond just romance. I'd say this one is worth your time if you're so inclined!

I love books with representation, especially when the representation is done well, but this book seemed to be reaching for every single representation, and I was constantly losing focus on the story. I ended up DNFing at 25%.

This is the first book I’ve read with BIPOC Jewish rep and opening that conversation on intersectionality was very interesting! Can I be part of a Daniel and Liyah sandwich? Their chemistry was palpable and once the romance commenced I was so enamored by how soft and simultaneously sexy it was. P.S. I need in on this friend group.

Dive into the heartwarming world of Rachel Runya Katz's debut romance, "Thank You For Sharing," where childhood friends reunite and discover that love is just a plane ride away. From the irresistible chemistry between Daniel and Liyah to the delightful banter of the SSC (you'll have to read to find out what that means), this novel is a joyous celebration of friendship, love, and the power of vulnerability. With laugh-out-loud moments, heartwarming declarations of love, and a charming feline companion named Sweet Potato, "Thank You For Sharing" is a must-read for anyone in need of a dose of warmth and romance. Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the advance copy of this delightful novel.

This was a strong cute debut and I look forward to more from Rachel. Daniel was a great leading man and I enjoyed the connection between them and the whole friend group. I did get a little bored in the middle but there were little sparks that kept the story moving.

St. Martin's Press: Minotaur Books, Wednesday Books, St. Martin's Essentials, St. Martin's Griffin, and Castle Point Books are all under boycott.

Free Palestine. Speak up on your racist employee.

This book is a rollercoaster of feels. The humor is A+++! I really enjoy Liyah's sarcastic sense of humor and the interactions of the whole friend group. The Survival Club meeting notes and rules had me snort laughing. I also found Daniel's grief at losing a parent and Liyah's experience with past sexual assault (not on page) to be very true to life. While both had me in tears, I do think they were handled incredibly well.

The representation in this book is also wonderful. Both main characters are biracial Jews (Aliyah is also Black and Daniel is also Korean). Aliyah is bisexual. And Aliyah's bestie Neen is nonbinary. Sidenote: I very much want to read a romance starring Neen!

I ended up switching between the ebook and audiobook and the dual narration by Tyla Collier and Raymond Lee is fantastic.

**I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**

This was so cute. I loved the two main characters and the way they resolved their past issues. I also loved the Jewish representation here-that was refreshing for a romcom. I will definitely read more from this author!

A wonderful debut!! I am always looking forward to reading books with diverse characters, and this one was so good!!! I love a workplace romance so much. This also felt realistic with the aspects of trauma and therapy and representation. I liked how the tough topics were tackled. Thank you for the arc.

A story about fate bringing two people back together over and over and over. Maybe more like forcing together instead of bringing together. This story was emotional and witty and I was so glad to get a review copy from NetGalley. I don't know that this is something that would have been on my radar otherwise.

Thank You For Sharing was a great second chance romance featuring two Jews of color, which made for a nice change of pace. Liyah Cohen-Jackson (short for Aliyah) is half black and half white. Daniel Rosenberg is half Korean and half white. They are both Jewish and were friends (and more) years ago at summer camp but fell out and haven’t seen each other since then (they are in their late 20s now).

Liyah has a hard time trusting people. First there was the issue with Daniel when they were 13, and then a bad experience during her first year at college. Both have her leery of romantic relationships. Luckily she has really good friends: Siobhan, a coworker at the Field Museum in Chicago and Neen, a friend from home.

Daniel never understood why Liyah was so mad at him (and I kind of sympathized with him; I thought it was one of the over-the-top things in this book). He’s grown into a wonderful, caring young man, who has experienced loss and is still grieving.

I was so happy to see them work their way back to being friends and more, sharing their experiences as Jews of color. (So sad to read about how they were treated when they ventured into a synagogue, but sad to also say that, from my own experience witnessing this sort thing, I’m not all that surprised.) Their customized holiday traditions were delightful (kimchi latkes!)

So this was a not-quite-enemies to friends to lovers story. The third act breakup was kind of awkward and a bit over-the-top, but it didn’t spoil the overall lovely story for me.

One of the highlights of the book was the wonderful friend group that formed organically and became a weekly Speakeasy Survival Club. They met for drinks at their favorite bar, took notes (“minutes”) and created rules. So much fun! Another highlight was Daniel’s adorable cat, Sweet Potato. All the behind-the-scenes stuff at the Field Museum was so interesting.

This was a debut novel and I’m looking forward to reading the author’s next book!

Note: The cover doesn’t really do anything for this book - it’s kind of blah. Too bad, because the novel is definitely not blah.
