Book Description
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…
That is, until Daniel’s marketing firm gets hired by the Chicago museum where Liyah works as a junior curator, and they’re forced to collaborate with potential career changing promotions on the line.
With every meeting and post-work social gathering with colleagues, the tension (and chemistry) between Daniel and Liyah builds until they’re forced to confront why they broke apart years ago at camp. But as they find comfort in their shared experiences as Jews of color and fumble towards friendship, can they ignore their growing feelings for each other?
With sexy charm and undeniable wit, Rachel Runya Katz’s sparkling debut, Thank You For Sharing, proves that if you’re open to love, anything is possible.
My Review
This was a sweet second chance romance with some great Jewish representation. It might seem silly to be upset about things that happened at summer camp, but camp friendships/relationships are more intense than school (with the exception of boarding school) because you’re with your camp people 24/7. So the highs are higher and the lows really sting.
But I digress.
Daniel and Liyah don’t plan to reunite after their chance meeting, but they are forced back together because of work obligations, and thus begins their begrudging friendship that eventually turns to romance.
And they do have great chemistry– I especially enjoyed their unintentional sleepover in the museum.
I would absolutely recommend Thank You For Sharing. This book is really good for a debut. I wish I’d read it sooner, and I’m certainly going to keep my eyes out for more of Katz’s books in the future. This book has wonderful secondary characters and Jewish representation.
I received a digital ARC of this book from St. Martin’s/NetGalley.
