People Like You - by Tyler McCall (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Two former rivals are thrown back together over the course of one steamy summer in the Hamptons, in this emotionally rich and devastatingly sexy debut rom-com for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune, and Ali Hazelwood.

Sometimes one summer can change everything.

Charlotte Parker is in a rut. Recently out of a long-term relationship, stalled out at her nonprofit job, and desperate for a change, she jumps at the chance to spend the weekend at a coworker's friend's Hamptons cottage. Yet what Charlotte doesn't expect is that the "cottage" in question is more like a mansion, and the owner is none other than Jacob Morgan--Charlotte's high school nemesis.

And Jacob is exactly as maddening as she remembers.

But as one weekend turns into a summer, Charlotte realizes that Jacob is not nearly the same arrogant rich kid he was a decade ago. And as the thin line between loathing and lust begins to blur, Charlotte wonders if a summer fling with her once-sworn enemy could be just what she needs to shake things up. If Jacob Morgan, of all people, is capable of change, could the same thing be true for her?

Review Quotes

"There comes a time in every twenty-something, NYC non-profit employee's life when they learn what the Jitney is and why they are not spending their summer Fridays on it. Our heroine spends her summer as a modern-day Liz Bennet: observing the social mores of high society with a keen eye while inadvertently tormenting an arrogant man with a grand estate. Truly, our collective dream. People Like You is a clever, sexy romance layered with the kind of witty social commentary that could only come from a writer who really knows this world."--Kate Goldbeck, author of You, Again

"People Like You is what beach-read dreams are made of! Charlotte is deeply relatable, witty, and complex. And when her rival Jacob appears at her Hamptons getaway, be careful! Their scorching looks and searing tension might just singe your fingers as you turn the page obsessively. When it comes to romance, Tyler McCall knows exactly what she's doing. One of my favorite reads of the year!" --Lyla Sage, author of Done and Dusted
