You again was an okay read for me, I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either. At times it felt like as a reader I was missing things, and there was a lot of telling but not showing. The main character, Allie was likable, but not so much her love interest Sam. Besides being good looking I didn't really get the allure and couldn't figure out why Allie had been in love with him since she was a teenager. Also, there was drama with Sam and the town that they "Ived in because of some book he wrote that wasn't ever explained, so again I felt like I was missing something. I would have liked more about their time apart, and why Allie was divorced. There were secondary characters and their personal issues that were introduced that weren't ever resolved, and didn't seem necessary to the plot line, maybe it's going to be a series, I'm not sure. Going in, I thought it was going to be a little heavier on the romance, but the main focus is the mystery, which was  okay. The mystery behind the murder was good, I usually figure it out before the main characters and get annoyed as they bumble through the book ignoring the main clues. I figured out parts, but not who the killer was, so it was nice to piece it together as it went, instead at  the beginning. I would recommend this book to friends who were fans of mystery, but would caution anyone who finds romance super important, because that fell a little flat for me. Overall, it was a decent, quick read.I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
