Representation: Both MCs are Jews of color - one Asian, one Black. One MC is bisexual.

Rating: 4.5/5 I loved this story about Liyah and Daniel. They both started from a place of hurt from perceived past slights, but over time, because of the forced situation they found themselves in due to work, they talked about it and eventually came to understand each other. The third act break-up is something that I'm not a fan of, but in this situation, they actually talked things through and held each other's hurt, working through things as adults should. I appreciated that this showed two different experiences of being a Jew of color, how they view the world because of that. I loved all of their friends, and I liked that Liyah and Daniel actually became friends first, before falling for each other. I LOVE their little survival club, where they just moan about whatever's bothering them and give each other advice on all kinds of things. I would absolutely recommend this fantastic debut.

Thank you for Sharing is about a pair that reacquaint themselves with each other after having met as teenagers. The storyline is following the evolving feelings of both, and the growth that they experience as individuals and young adults trying to navigate through life and trauma.

I was quite the fan of Daniel, and his generosity and graciousness with everyone around him. While he struggled with his own personal issues, he is still very aware of his impact and is overall careful with his words. It’s progressive in the way that apologies are offered and how gracious he is with all who are involved.

The FMC Liyah I believe is meant to be a bit more prickly and difficult. I had a really hard time relating to her and trying to understand her. She seemed to have very high expectations of how she wanted to be treated, but wasn’t great at treating others, specifically the MMC with grace and understanding. It felt hypocritical to me that one can be so self aware but also blind to their actions.

Overall I would recommend, mostly because of the resolution presented at the close of the book.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this debut read. This was pretty good for a debut. It was easy and interesting to read. From the plane and beyond this was really good.

This book was super cute. I love love love friends to lovers and when you throw enemies in there?! LOVE!!! Took me a second to get into but once I did, I was hooked. Loved the banter between them. The relationship was believable and fun to read!

Thank You for Sharing is an estranged childhood friends to lovers that keeps us entertained from page one!

Liyah and Daniel’s journey to falling in love is a fresh of breath air. She’s an independent woman, and he’s grieving the loss of his father. Forced to work together, they find their way back into each other lives, not without the help of a support group—their very own complaining group.

The friends are the highlight of this novel. Their group is an absolute delight to follow, and you can’t help but hope for more books featuring them!

Whew, the push and pull of these two completely took me by surprise. I’m not a friends to lover reader usually but this was one that made me want to snuggle down into the trope and never leave.

The character growth not only from their earlier years but even as they navigate throughout the story was beautiful. The chemistry flowed well and the banter was there. Overall a sweet read

A wonderful debut. I was gripped from the very beginning on the plane and immediately wanted to know what happened between then in the past and see where they went in the future! Loved!

Rachel Katz's writing is witty and charming, making it easy to root for Daniel and Liyah. Throughout the book, they navigate their complicated history and figure out their feelings. The novel touches on important themes such as identity, race, and culture, and does so in an impressive manner.

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange or my honest review.

Thank You for sharing was a wonderful book! There was so many moments I felt connected to this book. Even though I'm not Jewish, this book showcased the diversity of the Jewish BIPOC experience and had an adorable and steamy romance! I would definitely recommend this book if you're a fan of a good enemies to lovers story! There is discussion in this book of death of a family member so if you are sensitive to that just be aware. Otherwise this book was really well written, I loved Daniel and Liyah and the Speakeasy Survival Club! Would recommend!

Rating: 5/5

Summary: Daniel Rosenberg and Liyah Cohen-Jackson's last conversation—fourteen years ago at summer camp—ended their friendship. Until they find themselves seated next to each other on a plane, and bitterly pick up right where they left off. At least they can go their separate ways again after landing

Review: This is exactly the type of book a person needs when they need a FEEL good HEA book that will put you back in love with everything. The quick banter between Daniel and Liyah had be laughing out loud and made everything that much better to read between the two. Truly loved this book.

“The universe must be conspiring against him. There’s no other explanation. Accidentally making a beautiful girl hate you once is one thing, but twice a decade and a half apart? He’s cursed.”

Thank you, Netgalley, for the ARC!

First off, summer camp. Second, biracial protagonists. Third, two narrators for dual POVs.

I eat those up so, so badly.

I didn’t not like this book, but it was kind of boring. Albeit, I don’t know if I’ve read a book with POV switches in the same chapter, but they’re woven so well. In terms of second chance romances, the build-up felt so natural. Nothing felt forced within this dynamic of one-sided enemies-to-lovers/second chance. It did lose my by the third act cause of the classic third act drama. We need to retire that trope asap.

Also, there’s some Jewish representation which I know is a big yes for some readers. I can’t attest as to whether it’s good rep or not, but I didn’t see any issues with it.

I loved this so much and I can’t wait to read more by this author. It was fully captivating from the first page.

This book is wonderful for representation. I loved the story, the banter and the spice. This is up there with other romances that I love.

This was a sweet friends to enemies then to lovers romance by a new author. In this debut story, Daniel and Liyah are forced to face their past after ending their friendship fourteen years ago. Liyah works at the Chicago Museum as a curator and Daniel's firm gets hired by the museum to work on a project and Daniel and Liyah have to team up to make the project a success. Despite the anger and resentment between them, they decide to put aside their differences for the sake of their careers. With all the time they spend together, they begin to become friends again and it doesn't take long for that friendship to start to develop into something more.
Although an entertaining second chance love story with interesting characters and some humor, there are a couple of sensitive topics included such as sexual assault and grieving death, just to keep in mind.
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Delightful contemporary romance. Liyah works as a junior curator at a Chicago museum. She hasn't thought about her childhood friend/crush Daniel in years. They haven't spoken since a summer camp debacle ended the friendship. Daniel now works for a marketing firm, and, as if by fate, ends up paired with Liyah to create a campaign to bolster sales at the museum. As they work together, a friendship forms. And you know where that leads... But Liyah doesn't believe in love. Just maybe the sweet Daniel can change her mind, though.

This novel is full of wit and emotion. I laughed and cried at times. The romance is a slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers. Liyah has past trauma to overcome. She's working on it, but like everyone, it's a work in progress. Daniel is so understanding and kind.. and hot. (Honestly I think all the characters are described as being extremely attractive.) I loved their banter. Tons of great representation. Would recommend.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

very average but very good, i had a decent time reading this and i can’t wait to see more from the author.

This is such a good book. The story was unique. The characters were so likable. I thought the rep was very well done. I am a big fan of Rachel's, and I can't wait to read more of her stories.

I thought this was a great debut, but I will be honest the beginning took me a little long to get through, but the 2nd half was stellar. I loved the representation in this book. There are some heavy topics and I loved the pro therapy message, but kindly please check tws. It was a pretty hard read. If you love a second chance and hate to love story, this may be the book for you.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this arc.

Absolutely beautiful!

From beginning to end, these two characters were meant to be and the road to get there was fantastic. The inclusion of the religion and their identities are so well done.

This book starts out as an enemies to lovers trope that eventually turns into friends to lovers. Liyah and Daniel crushed on each other at summer camp when they were 12 and re-met on a plane back to Chicago.

They have further interaction when they start working together on a project where Liyah is a museum curator. As they hang out more by themselves and with their friends, their renewed attraction evolves.

I loved how Liyah and Daniel, as Jewish POC, were written and had their traditions. I also liked the queer representation of this book. This was a slow burn - I thought the book was getting a little tedious at the 75% mark and I just wanted the MCs to get together already!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this eARC. Thank You For Sharing is out now.
