This is a retelling of the very popular (and brilliant) film, When Harry Met Sally. Ari is a wannabe stand-up comic, making do writing bar mitzvah and father-of-the-bride speeches, serving at catered events, and gathering petition signatures. Josh is a chef from a wealthy family who definitely does NOT want to follow in his father’s footsteps and take over the famous deli he runs. They meet when Ari is collecting signatures in the park. They meet again when Josh shows up at the apartment Ari shares with her friend Natalie, ready to cook a romantic dinner for two. They dislike each other. Three years later … etc.
I really disliked these two characters. Ari, in particular, is a hot mess. Insecure, prickly to the point of being antagonistic, full of self-loathing and wallowing in pity, the front she portrays is what she thinks is an independent woman who loves to have meaningless sex with random strangers and who lives her life on HER terms. BUT … hot mess, remember?
Josh is kinda full of himself. He’s so concerned with making it HIS way that he runs roughshod over anyone who gets in his way. The result is that he also fails.
Well, you’ve seen the movie, so you know what’s coming. Do yourself a favor. Skip the book and re-watch the movie.… (altro)

joyblue | 6 altre recensioni | Oct 18, 2023 | A When Harry Met Sally 21st century redo with a bi-poly FMC and a chef with severe anxiety as the MMC. That seemed very promising. Though I ended up liking it, it was not without flaws.
This was so slow to start, so slow I considered a dnf at around p. 100, and it was longer than it should have been. Despite the slow start and the many many many senseless rejections of clearly communicated love, I was such a fan of the end it still goes to 3.5. Ari was such a bitch. I know it was because she was scarred, but it made her treat people (not just Josh) quite badly. It was hard to get past that, but I did. Josh was arrogant, but still not fully unlikable like Ari. Both characters were monumentally self-involved. You could not have convinced me that Goldbeck would get me to root for their HEA, but she did. In real life I know Ari would break Josh's heart again because she is too broken and selfish, but I am happy to hold on to the illusion.
Also, you always win with me with a realistic love letter to NYC in all its rat-congested, line-sitting, illegal subletting glory.… (altro)
