A chance to rewrite their ending is worth the risk in this swoony romantic comedy from Kosoko Jackson.
It’s been months since aspiring journalist Kian Andrews has heard from his ex-boyfriend, Hudson Rivers, but an urgent text has them meeting at a café. Maybe Hudson wants to profusely apologize for the breakup. Or confess his undying love. . . But no, Hudson has a favor to ask—he wants Kian to pretend to be his boyfriend while his parents are in town, and Kian reluctantly agrees.
The dinner doesn’t go exactly as planned, and suddenly Kian is Hudson’s plus one to Georgia’s wedding of the season. Hudson comes from a wealthy family where reputation is everything, and he really can’t afford another mistake. If Kian goes, he’ll help Hudson preserve appearances and get the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in media. This could be the big career break Kian needs.
But their fake relationship is starting to feel like it might be more than a means to an end, and it’s time for both men to fact-check their feelings.
What the critics say
“Jackson’s experience in young adult literature shows in this book’s close point of view and its depiction of a character on the brink of something transformative...Kian and Hudson are hot messes and they make terrible decisions—but they make less terrible decisions together, and the parts when they’re in sync shine with a beautiful, blooming sense of wonder.”—New York Times Book Review
"With beautifully drawn themes of family ties, foundational friendships, and the importance of choosing a love that makes us better, stronger, and happier, here is the queer rom com the genre has been waiting years for! As tender and unflinching as it is uproarious and joyful, Kosoko Jackson’s I’m So (Not) Over You is, quite simply—a spectacularly satisfying read."—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Soulmate Equation
"A snappy, sizzling, downright delightful book from Jackson, a welcome and fresh new voice in rom-coms."—Julia Whelan, author of My Oxford Year

So cute and fun to listen to
Some highlights for me were the chemistry between the main characters, the narrator’s ability to give life and personality to the dialogue and the fact that this is a gay romance featuring two poc’s, written by a Black queen author.
Spoiler alert:
I just wished we found out why they broke up in the first place. I guess it was inferred? And why didn’t Hudson do some sort of romantic gesture for Kian? Aside from the fight. It would’ve been nice to see him step outside his comfort zone.
