Isn’t It Obvious?

You’ve Got Mail gets an update in this quirky romance from Katz (Thank You for Sharing). High school librarian Yael lives a second life as podcaster Elle, host of The Sophomore English Agenda, where she shares snarky opinions about the books most commonly on school curricula. She keeps both personas strictly separate to protect her career. When the podcast takes off and becomes more work than she can handle solo, a friend connects her with a podcast editor she introduces as Kevin over email. The pair agree to work together and quickly develop a flirtatious online relationship. Meanwhile offline, Yael clashes with her roommate’s hookup Ravi, whom she meets when he attempts to sneak out through Yael’s bedroom window. The pair are thrown back together when Ravi volunteers with Yael’s after-school LGBTQ+ book club. Her relationships with both men develop in surprising ways—but the biggest surprise of all comes when she learns they’re one and the same. Katz makes the familiar setup a lot of fun with witty banter and a refreshingly diverse cast. This flirty contemporary is sure to warm hearts. (Oct.)
