Ari, a free-spirited struggling comedian, likes to keep things casual, and never sleeps over after hooking up. Josh, born-and-bred Manhattanite, has ambitious plans to take the culinary world by storm, to find The One and live happily-ever-after.

After a confrontational first meeting (at the apartment of the woman they are both sleeping with), Ari and Josh never expect their paths to cross again, but years later, as they're both reeling from ego-bruising breakups, a chance encounter leads to a surprising connection: friendship. Turns out, spending time with your former nemesis can be fun when you're both too sad and miserable to hate each other.

And as odd as it seems, they become friends-without-benefits, finding comfort in late night Netflix binges, swiping through each other's online dating profiles, and bickering endlessly on their phones across boroughs. It's better than romance. Until one night, the unspoken boundaries of their platonic relationship begin to blur...

With sharp observations and sizzling chemistry, YOU, AGAIN explores the dynamics of co-ed friendship in this sparkling romantic comedy of modern love in all its forms.

Critic reviews

'An enemies to lovers, New York-set romcom inspired by When Harry Met Sally? Yes, please! There are not enough superlatives for how much I adored the edgy, sexy but also unashamedly romantic You, Again'
Fresh, witty, and utterly romantic, this is the deliciously offbeat modern reimagining of When Harry Met Sally I never knew I needed. Kate Goldbeck is an absolute star!
This is a romance sung in perfect pitch! A spectacular debut!
Equal parts a studied homage and decisively modern, Kate Goldbeck debuts with a masterclass in banter. This is a luxurious contemporary romance to savor. Every character is as sexy as they are gloriously messy. I'm officially a fan and can't wait to see what Kate does next!
You, Again is a knockout. Ari and Josh are my favorite type of couple- funny, flawed, and complicated, with prickly exteriors hiding tender hearts. I'll be first in line for anything Kate Goldbeck writes from now on.
One of those special, singular books you wish you could read for the first time again and again. It's funny and sharp, crackling with wit and chemistry, a clever homage to all the best parts of romantic comedies while making them feel new... I can't wait to revisit it every year as an ultimate comfort reread, like watching a favorite Nora Ephron movie'
You, Again reads like a modern rom-com classic in the making, and Kate Goldbeck is my newest auto-buy author - what a voice! I've never read anything like it. This book is raw and sexy and radically vulnerable, and I'm already desperately missing Ari and Josh.
The humor is sharp, the dialogue is equal parts poignant and fun, and the romance will make you giddy
Not your average romantic comedy. Ari and Josh's love story is raw, chaotic, unconventional, very funny and very sexy. An edgy, modern, slow-burn love story, with nipple piercings.
Kate Goldbeck is a genius. I laughed. I cried. I fell in love with her characters and her descriptions of New York and the food. Ari is complicated, messy and utterly believable. Josh is so more than just your typical grumpy suitor. This story has nuts and a big fat beating heart and I will be reading it over and over

This book was so good! Funny, realistic, sad at times, comforting and simply a really good story. A common problem in these types of books is that the characters just don’t feel real because they act like idiots or lack depth that makes the story boring. This book had the perfect balance of humor and depth!

So good

When Harry Met Sally in humour and genre. But approached from a modern viewpoint that was believable and relatable. This was like listening to a rom com.

Loved it!

Great performance by VA.

Didn't like the consistent reference to drug use, or the fact that this was supposed to be a funny book? I was looking forward to some real laughs but it just wasn't funny. I enjoyed the honest approach to someone who feels deeply but is afraid of it (FMC), and didn't think I'd ever warm to MMC at the start, but I did. Would recommend approaching as a modern romance, but not as something to make you laugh out loud.

Ok
