Liyah hasn't thought of Daniel Rosenberg in years, but all of a sudden, he's everywhere--next to her on a flight, in her friends' Instagram posts, and most annoyingly, he's the contact she's been assigned for a project that could land her the most important goal she's set herself as a museum curator. Can she let go of the feelings of hurt and betrayal she feels from those long ago days at summer camp? And what is waiting for her if she does?

This was a sweet book. I love that the main character works at the Chicago Field Museum--you can only read so many romances where the main characters own coffee shops or bookstores or some other highly romanticized occupations. Having two professionals having to work together to reach their goals while also trying not to kill each other is a favorite trope--I love the banter you get between Liyah and Daniel as they try to navigate through both their pasts and their presents. I also hope that we get a book about Liyah's friend from the museum, Siobhan, as I think she was my favorite character in the entire book. Sarcastic and Irish is a good combination.
I also really enjoyed the diversity of the cast--watching Liyah and Daniel not only navigate their own romance, but the world around them through their very similar yet very different lenses--both are mixed race Jewish professionals, but Liyah is black and Daniel Korean, both struggling to figure out how the fit not only as minorities in race but how that fits with them being Jewish, as well.

This is a fun read with enemies to lovers tropes.

I absolutely devoured this own voices biracial gem about Daniel and Liyah! I was hooked very early on and was so smitten with this story!

Daniel and Liyah met at summer camp. Fourteen years ago they were best friends, until an incident ended their friendship. Years later, they meet again on an airplane and their rivalry begins again. When Daniel's marketing firm is hired by the museum Liyah works as a junior curator, they are tasked to work together on a very important project.

This was a pretty cute read, and I am a sucker for second chance romances especially if its enemies to lovers! I liked both Daniel and Liyah as main characters and I loved the dual POV between the two. Liyah got on my nerves at times and I do think that her reason for being mad in the first place was a bit... much, but she definitely grew on me by the end. Daniel was so sweet and caring, even when Liyah would try to push him away. It's definitely a slow burn romance, but I really liked seeing them reconnect and it was funny watching them try to deny their chemistry with one another. I also really liked how they worked through their trauma together, as well as apart, to allow them to open up to one another. They were both open and honest with each other, and it laid a great foundation for their relationship. I also adored the found family in this - the Survival Club was so fun and definitely help balance out the more serious moments in the book.

I I think this book had a lot of potential, but I think I just wasn't the audience for it. I wasn't able to connect with the story and inconsequentially wasn't able to invest in the plot fully.

I really think it was a me problem, but I would like to read more of this authors work to see if I'll be able to enjoy the story more.

A cozy read with layers.

I love the history of the MC's and the way their relationship to each other transforms throughout the story. I truly enjoyed reading this.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

Grumpy/sunshine is a trope I enjoy! I'm from Chicago so also enjoyed that setting :) It was cute but won't stick with me

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. A classic enemies to lovers - well, lovers, to enemies, to lovers - which makes it all the more fun. Tensions rise as the characters confront their past and move forward with the future.

This was a really cute, well written read! I loved Daniel and Liyah's growing relationship (and I do adore the 'we reconnect on a plane' trope). Absolutely loved the Jewish representation!

A promising debut featuring BIPOC Jewish summer camp sweethearts who had a falling out and haven't seen each other in years, until they're seated next to each other on a plane and discover that they now have to work together. The main characters have great chemistry and the museum setting was fun.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

I thought this was a fantastic debut! The enemies to lovers storyline was great, and had just the right amount of spice. Daniel + Liyah's friendship ended years ago while they were away at summer camp but as adults, they ended up being seated next to each other on a flight. The two end up needing to collaborate on a project and well, you'll need to read the book to find out what happens! Definitely interested in reading more by this author.

Thank you to the publisher, SMP Romance, and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I will submit a review for this title once the demands for the St. Martins Press Boycott have been met.

I made this account and requested my own book just for the purpose of seeing what version they'd used for e-ARCs. now I want to request other books and my feedback ratio is 0% so I am submitting this.

It was pretty solid. Maybe it's just my take on forced proximity trope, but it was done well. Sometimes authors make it such a forced trope where you're just like....uh there's literally 5 different solutions to get out of this. Either way, such a cute little love story between these two.

This has been on my NetGalley back list for a few months now. I missed the opportunity to download it, so I listened to it instead and I’m so glad I did!
Liyah Cohen-Jackson and Daniel Rosenberg were friends at sleep away camp but all of that came to an end when a rumor started about them. Liyah left camp embarrassed and hasn’t seen Daniel in 15 years- until they end up sitting next to each other on a flight back to Chicago from CA. Even though so much time has passed, Liyah is still hurt and Daniel is still befuddled over how things ended. Both are shocked when Daniel’s marketing agency is hired by the museum where Liyah is a junior curator and they now have to work together on a regular basis. Over weeks of working together and weekly drinks with their coworkers slowly the ice between them begins to melt and they begin to see each other as friends and possibly more.
I was so excited about all of the Jewish representation in this book. It was completely unexpected and at the first mention of it, my face broke into a huge grin. I found both Liyah and Daniel to be adorable and I loved how wonderful and caring their family and friends were.
This is Rachel Runya Katz’s debut novel and I’m so excited to see what else she has for us in her writing career. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy of this. Thank You for Sharing hit the shelves in September of 2023.

This was a good book. I wasn't completely head over heals reading it, but I did enjoy it. I think other readers of this prose will definitely enjoy it. I just wasn't a good fit..

Looooovrd this book. The two leads bounce off each other so well and had me giggling. It was fun and swoon worthy. Would totally recommend.

I loved the multicultural Jewish representation in this book, and the nod to their teen years at sleepaway camp felt nostalgic in the best ways. Until Liyah kept using it as an argument point so many times against Daniel when they reunite as adults and work together as colleagues on projects that could help propel their careers. Liyah really struggled to be vulnerable, as a result from some traumatic relationship experiences during formative years. She made out Daniel to be the villain in her origin story, but after spending months working together, sharing meals and heartfelt moments, their friendship and chemistry blossom into something more. Daniel was really one heck of a book boyfriend (cat dad, hello?!) who was struggling after losing his father, and I'm glad this book demonstrated that grief is not linear and the importance of a support network (family, friends, and therapy). The found family element of the Speakeasy Support Club was so delightful -- I loved their meeting notes and seeing each character develop in their own way. For me, what kept this from being 5 stars was Liyah's stubbornness about not letting go of the past. Thankfully, she had friends in her corner, too, that helped her realize her lovability and worth.
Thank you Netgalley & St. Martin's Press for the ARC.

I love the enemies to lovers trope, and this was such a refreshing, well-written, and uplifting journey of a story for this couple. Witty banter, loads of charm; this one has it all.

Liyah and Daniel are solid main characters you can’t help but root for. Please sign me up for Rachel Runya Katz’s next book. I’m already excited to meet the characters and cheer them on to love.

I received a gifted copy.

a sweet and surprisingly deep book. I loved the development of the characters. It was a good read and I found myself engaged the while time.
