What a quirky read!
A better title for this book would have been What are the chances?
As throughout this entire book that could be said. While this book started out kind of slow and actually annoying because of the two main protagonists, as I read on it became very interesting and bittersweet. All in all a good read.
Thank you to Netgalley, Amazon Publishing UK-Lake Union Publishing and the Author, Nick Spalding
for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Amy and Joel’s honeymoon in the Maldives was the perfect week of love, sun, sex and a free minibar…but unfortunately, it was also the high point of a marriage that quickly descended into an absolute disaster zone. Eight years on, they’re back in paradise, trying to recreate the magic with new partners. What a crying shame they’ve picked the same week to do it…

This is a light-hearted, easy read that makes you laugh and cringe all at the same time. This is the perfect type of book for sitting in a bath with a glass of wine or sat reading on a beach or pool. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

3.5/5.

A divorced couple meet at the luxury resort they honeymooned in, both blaming the other and determining to "win". In places this did get a bit silly, and you could start to guess the ending, but it was well written, even if you do feel that people who behave in such a silly fashion would not be so successful in their high powered jobs. .

This book was nothing like I expected it to be. I thought it was going to be a second chance romance/enemy to lover romance, where the main characters Amy and Joel, who are divorced from each other meet on vacation and realize that they never should have gotten divorced and would ride off into the sunset together. So imagine my surprise when it was completely different. Amy and Joel do meet on vacation, and instead of romance we get awkward encounters, that are both hilarious and cringeworthy to say the least.. lol The book totally gave me Forgetting Sarah Marshall, vibes and while it started off a little slow it ended up being a really good book. I even forgave that it wasn't a "romance" because I think it ended like it should have, also I was so in love with Ray's character, even though he's not the main character, so any other ending would have made me mad.

Amy and Joel had the perfect honeymoon in the Maldives with a week filled with love, sex, and sun. Now eight years later, they are divorced and Joel is dating a younger woman. They decide to take a vacation in the Maldives as Joel remembers it as paradise. They are so excited to head out on vacation but as they are boarding the plane, they get to their row and see that Amy and her new partner are seated in the same row on their plane. They are both concerned that they can't be in close proximity to each other for the long flight. Once they get to their destination, they discover that they are staying on the same island at the same resort. Once they are escorted to their cabin, they are located next door to each other. That was the last straw and Amy did get their room moved to another location. This starts a horrible week of rivalry and one-upmanship as they both try to prove that they are the happiest person with the best partner. This is a hilarious story about relationships and life and secrets. I recommend it.

Nick Spalding has written an entertaining, funny, and heart-warming second chance romance in You Again? It has a wonderful storyline and developed characters who you cant help but love or hate or love to hate or hate to love or all of the above! Its a journey worth reading although maybe a bit predictable at the very end (at least in part). But that doesn't take away from the story!

Joel and Amy were married for 8 years but the memory or their honeymoon on a beautiful island in the Maldives hasn't been forgotten by either of them. Now happily seeing other people both have elected to plan vacations to said island the same week, unknowingly of course. And Joel and Amy do NOT get along!

While on the island Joel and Amy find themselves in a bunch of shenanigans, either self induced or by random bad luck. But they also find memories and history and a love lost. Do they also find a renewed love?

A Parkinsons joke and a gay rodeo joke? Do better and be a better person, Nick Spalding.

Thank you to Net Galley for an ARC for an honest review.

I did not finish this one. Despite I really really loved the book Bricking It from the same author. Somehow these characters got under my skin...

War of the Roses, updated. And I’m the Maldives. Any and Joel are angry exes who happen to be on the same vacation at the same time - the spot of their honeymoon. With sarcastic and bitter comments towards each other and a constant need to outdo or one up each other, these two seem like they will never settle the score. Until a few small moments combined open their eyes to why they have so much resentment for each other.

There are some laugh out loud scenes and some cringeworthy behavior, but I found it to be funny, sometimes sweet with a nice ending.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

"You again?" by Nick Spalding is a quick and funny read. It was a bit over the top for my liking and the ending is contrived, but all in all, it kept my attention and provided a few laughs and eyerolls. We all need that every now and then.

Reading this book was like a roller coaster between laughing and cringing at how people can humiliate themselves.

Ray and Amy are a divorced couple who find themselves on the island of their honeymoon at the same time, with their new partners in life. Acrimonious does not describe how much they resent each other so the reader is left to wonder how all of this will end. The romantic in me hoped for a reunion but the realistic part of me kept wondering.

The author brought good moments that were light and enjoyable but also showed how people can be the worst in their relationships.

All in all, a good ending and enjoyable book.

A light read, but bit too predictable for me and had more romance than what I realized it would. But thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this opportunity!

I am a fan of Nick Spalding and whilst I enjoyed this book I found it much too predictable. I enjoyed the context of a tropical island, I thought the characters were well drawn if a little stereotypical but whilst not everything was expected for me too much of it was. A good light read.

I requested this book only because I loved the cover of the book! It felt like such a summer read and I am glad to tell you that it actually was! The book is outrageously hilarious, even in some difficult and tricky situations. The characters are flawed but also kind of a little immature (?) While I did enjoy most of it, I felt that the resolution needed a little bit more nuanced than what was done here. But, overall, it was a very interesting and fun read.

This was such a fun read! Can you even imagine going on a vacation at the same time with your ex-husband? There were so many laugh out loud moments in this book and some were even shocking. I really enjoyed how this story was told in two different perspectives and how it bounced back and forth with each chapter. I found myself very eager to see how this would end. It did not disappoint!!!

This story follows two divorced people that happen to be on vacation at the same place with their new partners. They can't just ignore each other, but instead spend so much energy trying to get revenge on each other instead. I found some spots in the story where I giggled, but I quickly got tired of the immaturity of these people. It was awkward and uncomfortable.

I was provided a gifted copy of this book for free. I am leaving my review voluntarily.

Joel and Amy ,with their respective partners, return to their honeymoon island, folllowing their acrimonious divorce a few years previously. The funniest book I have read in ages, written chapter by chapter from each of their perpectives. -couldn't wait to put it down /pick it up again. Fabulous !

I was disappointed to DNF this book. I tried, but the tone was snarky and the characters completely unlikeable. Even with former-lovers tropes, there's usually some sense of what they had liked about one another or some chemistry, that this story lacked. What was meant to be humor, I'm sure, just fell flat for me and it wasn't a book I was eager to get back to anytime I put it aside.

This book was light hearted, funny, and an easy read. Something I was needing!! I really enjoyed the characters and the story flipping back and forth between the two main characters & their point of view. I chuckled out loud several times throughout this book of two exes, stuck on a small tropical island together with their new partners, trying to get one last jab at each other.

I wanted so much to like this book, but I found the two main characters annoyingly insufferable and whiney. Until about 94% through, this was a one-star book, but the ending kind of saved it and made it a two-star. Not a big fan.
