Expected 8 Sep 26
From the bestselling author of One to Watch comes a heartwarming enemies-to-lovers romance perfect for fans of The West Wing and When Harry Met Sally, featuring two political staffers who love working on campaigns...almost as much as they hate each other.
Anya Katz is Type A and highly driven with unfaltering morals; she’s never met a group project she wouldn’t rather do all by herself. Gabe Hunt is a staggeringly handsome and charming golden boy who’ll do whatever it takes to win. At work, Anya and Gabe fight about everything — but how long can they fight their undeniable attraction?
See You Next Tuesday follows Anya and Gabe through a decade of campaigns, from all-night phone banks and piles of greasy takeout to glitzy celebrity fundraisers and presidential debates. They say politics is the art of making change, but working in politics changes you — and Anya and Gabe navigate dizzying highs and devastating lows in their professional and personal lives as they evolve from enemies to grudgingly respectful colleagues to best friends to lovers…to bitter political rivals.
With breakneck banter, sizzling chemistry, engrossing detail and clear-eyed optimism, See You Next Tuesday is an uplifting and addictive portrait of two lovers passionately working to make history, if only they can overcome their own.

TL;DR: Enemies → friends → lovers with elite banter, 🔥 text threads, and real character growth. Addictive and so worth it.
Hot on the campaign trail, Anya and Gabe keep circling each other—infuriating one another almost as much as their undeniable attraction.
Okay, I don’t know what I did to deserve so many good books in a row, but damn—another banger. I could not put this down. At this point I’m ready to go read everything Kate has ever written.
She did test me in the beginning with Gabe. Oh my lord. I wanted to smack that boy upside the head. Every time his POV came on I was hearing Abby Miller’s TikTok sound: “all of a sudden I hear this agitating, grating voice.” Full f-boy energy.
But around 30% in, you start to see there’s more to him—and I loved how that shift unfolded. The progression from enemies → friends → lovers really worked for me. So many books skip straight to romance, but the friendship here added this extra layer of tension and yearning that I absolutely ate up. The dialogue and banter were to die for, and the author wove in a lot of text messages since they’re long distance—their text threads?? 🔥🔥🔥 It made the connection feel constant and real, even when they weren’t physically together.
The campaign backdrop kept things moving and made the story feel active and grounded, and the final hurdle in their relationship felt earned. Nothing felt forced—it all clicked.
What really stood out to me, though, was how the characters grow over time. They start as chaotic, brash twenty-somethings who think they know everything, and by their thirties they’re quieter, more reflective, and questioning where they actually want to be. That arc hit. The older you get, the more you realize how much you don’t know—and this captured that shift really well.
Fantastic enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, addictive writing, and great Jewish representation.

Remember what it used to feel like being optimistic and hopeful about a political candidate and the future? This book really bottles that vibe and throws in a complicated romance between two campaign staffers.
This got Heated Rivalry comps and I see why. The rivalry between Gabe and Anya added an extra layer to the stakes of their relationship, and sometimes entire months passed via text message threads. This was a romance where the relationship didn’t totally feel inevitable. Sometimes they’re in different relationships, sometimes they’re dealing with grief and job stress, and that always ends up being my favorite type of love story.
See You Next Tuesday spans many years of time and because of this, some sections felt more Tell rather than Show, but this book ended on such a high note and I was fully invested by the middle so it ended up not bothering me as much as it did initially. There is a lot of emotion packed in here!
*thank you to the publisher for the free review copy!

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
So when I requested the book on NetGalley, I didn’t read the description and thought the cheeky title was more to do with the spice (C U Next Tuesday)
What I got, was an inside look at campaigning and a really great enemies/rivals to lover’s love story! (With almost zero spice)
I’m really glad I didn’t clicked request!
I got emotional, with actual tears, several times in this book at the love between Gabe and Anya and the emotions of grief and loss and how your person just makes it all seem bearable. They learned the hard way that when you find that person, nothing should be more important! The struggle between their relationship, their careers and their success was hard to read
Even knowing a breakup and get back together was coming based on how many pages were left in the book when they finally got together, it still caused huge disappointment when it happened.
Loved the text messages format when they were working apart.
It was smart, romantic, heartbreaking, with a satisfying HEA.
This was worth the read and one of my few 4 star books out of the 75 I’ve read so far this year. I won’t be surprised if this gets made into a Netflix movie.

Well, this was just delightful. I love good banter, political intrigue, and love interests who won't admit they're in love with each other, and this book has it all. It follows Anya and Gabe, two young, ambitious campaign staffers as they move up in the ranks of their careers, and keep encountering each other in rival positions. The story takes place over the course of ten years, so we follow them through a lot of ups and downs in both their personal and professional lives. It's a slow burn, but everything that happens between Anya and Gabe feels earned because there's so much back and forth between them (I would call it a rivals to friends to lovers situation). As someone who enjoyed shows like The West Wing, Veep, and Scandal, I was really into the concept of a romance set in the political campaign world, because that's something you don't see often. I will definitely be recommending this to all of the contemporary romance readers in my life!

Anya and Gabe are the definition of young, scrappy, and hungry and Kate Stayman-London writes their annoyance to lovers with the type of banter that truly upholds the West Wing and When Harry Met Sally vibes that readers are promised. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to scream at these two for the mess they made and celebrate with them as they put the pieces back together.
PS if you're a Josh and Amy fan on The West Wing, this one's especially for you!

May 12, 2026in the name of honesty I shall share the fact that I HATED Gabe for more than half (!!!) of this book…the way I almost very nearly stopped reading multiple times just because I was annoyed at everything he did and said (and even, at times, what he thought , as we get his pov).
so it’s no small feat that by book’s end, my frustration with Gabe has evolved into a miraculously positive take. dare I say it even veers into seriously rooting for Anya and him to end up together?!?! the character development in this, frankly, deserves an award.

This was a fun, faced paced romance set in the political world. I loved the chemistry between Gabe and Anya. AND I loved the text chains, news articles and other ways that helped move the plot a long. I will definitely be looking for more from this author in the future.
