You Between the Lines

Reviews

"It's no surprise that a novel about poets would feature some of the best romance writing I've encountered in years. My grad school career repeatedly flashed before my eyes. I melted into this book. It's rare that a debut author becomes an instant auto-buy, but whatever Katie Naymon writes next, please inject it into my veins."—Kate Goldbeck, bestselling author of YOU, AGAIN "You Between the Lines is almost indescribably good: fresh and smart and tender, with not just some of the most gorgeously crisp prose out there, but poetry I’d pin to every one of my Pinterest boards if I could. It’s the characters that make this an all-timer for me, though: Leigh is my soulmate and Will is the gold standard for book boyfriends. Katie Naymon has a forever fan in me."—Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of THE EX VOWS and YOU, WITH A VIEW “Like the loveliest and most profound poems, You Between the Lines is instantly captivating and rich with depth. Naymon’s debut is an ode to writers and a literary love story both sweet and nuanced that will have you underlining every romantic detail.”—Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka, USA Today bestselling authors of THE ROUGHEST DRAFT “YOU BETWEEN THE LINES marks the debut of a stunning new voice in romance. I was captivated by Katie Naymon’s tender, lyrical prose, and my heart ached–in the best way possible–through every page of Will and Leigh’s journey to embrace the messy vulnerability of both love and art. I eagerly await whatever Naymon does next!”—Ava Wilder, author of WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY "Like the best poems, You Between the Lines is poignant, lyrical, and true. I thoroughly enjoyed Leigh and William and their rivalry, their pining, and their moody, crackling chemistry. The immersive, academic setting shines, as does Leigh's emotional growth and journey to be vulnerable in her art. An absolutely beautiful debut, and I can't wait to read what Katie Naymon writes next!"—Naina Kumar, USA Today bestselling author of SAY YOU'LL BE MINE "In her impressive debut, Katie Naymon delivers everything I hoped for in an MFA romance about two poets—from the steady stream of astute psychological insights to the captivating sexual tension and emotional push-pull between Leigh and Will. this novel that centers a Taylor Swift-loving poet main character is itself a Swift banger in book form, one so catchy and fizzy it hijacks your bloodstream, but woven into its complex layers, there is also something so intimately true and human that it feels as if your own diary has been mined for material. This is exactly what I want from a romance.“—Melanie Sweeney, USA Today bestselling author of TAKE ME HOME "Lyrical and lovely, You Between the Lines is the perfect romance for anyone who has ever obsessed over a piece of criticism or worried that they are not enough. Katie Naymon's novel is deliciously sexy, and so deeply real that I felt like I was sitting alongside her characters in their MFA workshop. Prepare to fall in love!"—Laura Hankin, author of ONE-STAR ROMANCE Expand reviews
