When Harry Met Harry I Picked Up This Book Because: Judged a book by it’s cover. The Characters: Harrison Fields: Henry Lee: The Story: Unplanned buddy read with Josh. - It was annoying to me that they named the book Harry met Harry but through about 82% no one called either of the main characters Harry. I mean it probably would have been confusing but still I expected it to be used more. - I love that the characters bonded over Friends as it’s one of my favorite shows. - I’m glad Henry was able to get out of his own way - I liked Harrison but he was a bit annoying. He seemed more in love with love then actually looking for a person to share his life with. The Random Thoughts: 3.5 Stars aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Beautifully tender and unforgettably funny, prepare to fall in love with this modern-day nod to a classic romantic comedy. Ever since their chance encounter as seatmates on the plane ride from hell, Harry "Harrison" Fields and Harry "Henry" Lee have had a love-hate relationship. But every time their paths have crossed over the years, they've grown to like each other more and more, even developing an unlikely friendship. Now, Harrison is a fun-loving music teacher who wears his heart on his sleeve, and Henry is a hard-driving business man who's still striving to get out of his father's shadow. As they go through life's inevitable heartaches and losses, their friendship only deepens. Sure, there's always been a simmering attraction between them, but nothing worth threatening their friendship over...until one of them takes things too far. But when a valuable friendship hangs in the balance, is a chance at romance worth the price? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Granted, the story is both predictable and improbable at the same time, but I didn't care because I just loved these characters. After listening about them for eight hours, I am sad to let them go. Somehow I just rooted for them and enjoyed getting to know their lives so much.
My only criticism is that after a few hours, the story lost a little of its pace and seemed to drag a bit. The twists and turns got too much and felt a bit forced. Although I would happily have learned more about these characters, the plot itself could have been more interesting in the second half.
I must admit that I have never watched "When Harry Met Sally", so I don't know how similar the stories are, but judging from other reviews there are only a few nods to that famous film.
Another thing I liked about this book were the references to popular culture, such as Harry Potter, Star Wars and Friends. These gave the story a more realistic feel.
This novel is not available in print or as an ebook, it is an audible original that was only published as an audible audiobook so far. I was not able to find out anything more about Sydney Smyth, other than that they have published two more of such audible originals, both also contemporary romances featuring gay characters.
I will listen to those for sure in the future and hope that the author will publish more and maybe in print as well. ( )
