What an absolute gem of a romcom! Isn’t It Obvious? is heartfelt, witty, and delightfully queer in all the best ways. I fell head over heels for Yael and Ravi from page one. This is one of those romances where you just know they’re meant to be together, and the anticipation is half the fun.

The writing sparkled with charm and authenticity. Katz has such a knack for witty banter and emotional nuance and it felt like the characters leapt right off the page. Yael and Ravi’s dynamic had me smiling, swooning, and even tearing up. And don’t even get me started on the queer book club scenes; they were pure serotonin. 🥹🌈

I also loved the layered diversity woven throughout the book. From queer representation to the cultural identities and mental health conversations, it was all handled with so much care and respect. It never felt tokenized; it just felt real.

This book flew by, and I already can’t wait to read more from Rachel Runya Katz. If you love the You’ve Got Mail trope, emotional depth, and swoony romance with a side of found family, you need this on your TBR.

Thank you to NetGalley, Rachel Runya Katz, and St. Martin’s Press/St. Martin’s Griffin for the eARC of this book.
