Synopsis

Two rambunctious, romantic flameouts. One boring wedding. One heated embrace in a quiet coatroom. This is not exactly the recipe for true love. John and Janes lusty encounter at a friends wedding isnt really the beginning of anything with any weight to it; even they know that. When they manage to pull back, it occurs to them that they might start this whole thing over properly. They might try getting to know one another first, through letters. What follows is a series of traded confessionsof their messy histories, their past errors, their big loves, their flaws, and their passions. Each love affair, confessed as honestly as possible, reveals the ways in which Jane and John have grown and changed (or not changed) over the yearsthe people theyve hurt, the ones still bruised, the ones who bruised them. Where all of this soulbaring will take them is the burning question behind every lettera question that can only be answered when they meet again, finally, in the flesh.

Goodreads review by Krista✨🪩 on January 24, 2024

This really just didn’t do it for me. The letters back and forth being 95% of the book just didn’t keep me interested. Then when they did meet back up it was awkward. It just didn’t seem line they actually liked each other the way the author kept trying to make them. It felt very forced. Not to ment......more

Goodreads review by Michelle on January 08, 2024

Written in the form of letters between the main characters, who almost hooked up in the coatroom at a wedding but decided to get to know each other first, Which Brings Me to You tells the romantic history of the two, prior to their meeting. I did like the idea of getting to know each other first, an......more
