We Can't Keep Meeting Like This

We Can't Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon is a witty and heartfelt romantic comedy that delves into second chances, self-discovery, and the messy nature of love. The story centers on Quinn Berkowitz, a romance skeptic who spends her summers reluctantly playing the harp at weddings for her parents' event-planning business. Things get complicated when she finds herself repeatedly thrown into the same wedding events as Tarek Mansour, whose family runs the catering business. Last summer, Quinn confessed her feelings for Tarek in an email he never responded to, making her dread their inevitable encounters. Tarek, a fan of grand romantic gestures, clashes with Quinn?s more pragmatic and cynical view of love, resulting in a series of humorous and emotionally charged moments. As they find themselves repeatedly caught up in wedding mishaps—whether rescuing wedding cakes or stepping in for bridal party duties—they're forced to confront unresolved feelings and miscommunications. While Quinn learns the delicate art of harp-making and opens up about her deepest fears, she begins to understand the reasons behind Tarek's silence and gains new insights into herself. Their journey is a beautiful exploration of emotional vulnerability, challenging long-held beliefs about love, and learning to take risks in relationships. Through humor, warmth, and touching moments, the novel explores themes of family, identity, and the beauty of love in all its imperfect forms.
