My sincere thanks to St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read Thank You for Sharing by Rachel Runya Katz. I give my unbiased opinion of the book in the following review.

Daniel and Liyah were friends way back in Jewish summer camp before something happens and they don't see or speak to each other for 14 years. A chance meeting on a plane brings them together again with less than wonderful results, but they are meant to rehash the past when they are brought together again on a work assignment. Liyah is less than happy to be working with Daniel, but a promised promotion is motivation enough to try and get along. Since this is a romance, we know it will all work out in the end, but a lot of stuff comes to light, and we understand what happened 14 years ago and in between to make Liyah as prickly as she is.

When I learned what was behind her attitude and behavior I was able to enjoy watching her grow and accept the love Daniel had for her. The friend group was fun and if the author has plans to write their stories, I am interested in checking them out.… (altro)

For example, the FMC never felt fully formed even though her bisexual, biracial, Jewish, sexual assault survivor background ticked all the boxes. Disclosure: I received an arc of the title from Goodreads Giveaways and the publisher.… (altro)
