You, Again

　　由互相討厭到喜歡，需要多久？
　　恐懼承諾的人V.S.無藥可救的戀愛體質？！
 
　　雅莉是個苦苦掙扎的喜劇演員，同時擁有一顆自由的靈魂。她喜歡隨意過生活，到處租房子、參加演出，而且一旦有豔遇，決不過夜！喬許則是戀愛沒停過的大廚，作為土生土長的曼哈頓人，心中一直有個偉大的夢想：在烹飪界掀起風暴，並找到命定的另一半，能夠在自己完美的廚房中，為對方做早餐。這兩個人完完全全沒有任何共通點，就像是油和水，這讓他們見面時就互相討厭對方，而且是立刻！唯有一點很巧，他們都和同一個女人上過床（剛剛好是雅莉的室友）。
 
　　多年後，雅莉和喬許都經歷了一段刻骨銘心的分手，而一場偶然的碰面，卻意外替他們搭起友誼的橋樑。事實證明，當一個人悲傷過度，已經沒有餘力去討厭他人時，意外地，和曾經的宿敵共度時光竟能變成一件有趣的事。他們從只是互相安慰的傳訊息開始，漸漸習慣在深夜時，一起進行療癒式的Netflix馬拉松、瀏覽對方網路交友的個人資料、在各個地方大吵，一場比戀愛更親密更美好的關係。
 
　　然而直到某天晚上，這柏拉圖關係中，那條曖昧不明的界線開始變得模糊⋯⋯

A NPR AND GLAMOUR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Can they stop hating each other long enough to fall in love?

When Ari and Josh first meet, the wrong kind of sparks fly. They hate each other. Instantly.

A free-spirited, struggling comedian who likes to keep things casual, Ari sublets, takes gigs, and she never sleeps over after hooking up. Born-and-bred Manhattanite Josh has ambitious plans: Take the culinary world by storm, find The One, and make her breakfast in his spotless kitchen. They have absolutely nothing in common . . . except that they happen to be sleeping with the same woman.

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 is fun when you’re too sad to hate each other--and too sad for hate sex.

As friends-without-benefits, they find comfort in late-night Netflix binges, swiping through each other’s online dating profiles, and bickering 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.

Kate Goldbeck grew up in a literal village and always dreamed of living in New York, even though her parents warned her that the apartments on Friends were not realistic. In college, she studied film and art history--limiting her employment prospects to ＂film museum.＂ Since earning a master’s degree at an engineering school, she’s designed award-winning museum exhibits and immersive experiences all over the world. She adores bantering with her partner, falling asleep to British audiobook narrators, and scratching dogs behind the ears.
