Praise
“With beautifully drawn themes of family ties, foundational friendships, and the importance of choosing a love that makes us better, stronger, and happier, here is the queer rom com the genre has been waiting years for! As tender and unflinching as it is uproarious and joyful, Kosoko Jackson’s I’m So (Not) Over You is, quite simply—a spectacularly satisfying read.”

Julia Whelan

author of My Oxford Year
“A witty and fast-paced romance full of rapid-fire dialogue, laugh-out-loud one liners, and spot-on pop culture references. I’m So (Not) Over You is full of swoon-worthy and sizzling romantic moments, but it’s also about following your heart and figuring out what you want to do with your life.”
