Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren<\/a> is one of those books you put down at 10:30 p.m. and grab again within 15 minutes of opening your eyes the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a millennial romance that takes place in a co-working space in New Orleans between a woman who writes an entertainment review column and an improv performer\/ office barista. Hollyn, the writer, has social anxiety and Tourette’s and part of her MO in using the co-working space is to overcome that anxiety and start interacting with people more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasper, the improv guy, has been in that in-between space of trying on careers, but nothing quite sticks. But he knows he loves improv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tentative friendship turns into a practice dating arrangement turns into more than either of them planned on. Yes & I Love You normalizes neurodivergence, handling it forthrightly as Hollyn works through her anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s sensitive, swoony, and sexy — everything I’ve come to love in a Roni Loren story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
