First and foremost, this book is incredibly sexy! From fumbling advances to all-out war on a woman’s body, it’s a rollercoaster of emotions. I’m part of the “Reid Redman ruined me club,” so this book is 100% lady puddle approved. Scorching! End of!

Secondly, I’m pretty sure this is one of the best character-focused books I’ve read in a long time. It’s my Sapphic Book of the Year for 2026 for a reason. READ IT!

I come from a small town in the South, and this book embraces those stereotypes, making it both entertaining and painful. There’s definitely some trauma there, and there’s truth in this book that you can’t comprehend without having lived it. It resonated deeply with me, to my southern core.

The characters are heartbreakingly honest, and the writing is breathtaking. The emotions are raw and real. Reid Redman broke me and miraculously, thankfully, got the super glue out and meticulously put me back together again, piece by piece.

The writing is top-tier, goddess-level goodness. The romance is fire! There’s a lot of push and pull, and there’s a lot of hurt that the characters needed to let go of to move forward.

When I think about the stakes in this from both characters’ perspectives, I understand. They both have so much healing to do. But it’s what I love so much about Knot Again, Anya. The love that never left, the painful past that we all sometimes cling to, it’s how we uplift and come together, stronger for the journey.

I loved this book so much. Reid is a very talented author, and you’ll not be dissatisfied with Knot Again, Anya.
