Amazon.co.uk Review
Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees hit upon a winning formula with their first joint novel Come Together, billed as a unique opportunity to view a heterosexual couple's relationship from both sides. Now they consummate this success in this sequel, Come Again, a tale of four troubled twentysomethings: two trapped by success, two by failure.

Amy and Jack's relationship comes to a head when they decide to get married. They take a back seat as four of their friends plan their wedding for them, whilst in turn attempt to build relationships of their own. Helen, or H as her friends call her, has such a happening job that she has no time for anything else. Matt has the same problem, so perhaps the two should get together... Former coke-snorter Stringer has moved back in with his mum while he sorts his head out. And saucy Susie cannot keep her legs shut.

Fans of Lloyd and Rees will gain satisfaction from this re-entry into Amy and Jack's sassy shenanigans. If you like Friends and Four Weddings and a Funeral, this will hit the right spot. --Daren King.

Super!
I've just spent the last eight hours reading this book - once I started reading it I couldn't put it down as I was always anticipating what was going to happen next! This is a funny and heartwarming book and Lloyd and Rees come out on top again! I felt like I actually knew the characters and was there with them! You'll enjoy reading about bitchy H and Susie the Floozy, and your heart will go out to Matt and Stringer - what cuties! All I can say is what a brilliant book! I've read all three of Lloyd and Rees jointly written books and I haven't been disappointed yet! I can't wait for the next one - hurry up and get writing Josie and Emlyn!!

A sublime, superb read
"Come together" was a fine book. Two well-defined, if slightly unpolished, characters coming together to form a genuinely touching romance. Yes, it was rather stereotypical but here we have the sequel; and it jumps straight into the gaps that its predecessor left.

Granted, again, the characters are all made out to be great looking, sexy, blah blah blah - rather too cliched (where is the fat mate, lol!?). That said, it's the only downfall in an otherwise exquisitely written, delightfully told story, and the ending is far more rounded than last time out. Laugh at the calamities of Stringer, swear at the utter complete bitchiness of H, but most importantly, buy it, read it, and enjoy. You'll be gutted when the last page has gone tho'.... that's how addicted reading about these characters has become. Roll on number 3...

Good - but nothing like the first
When I first read "Come Together" I couldn't stop raving about it and told all my friends to read it too. It was a very refreshing way to tell a story. Maybe I've read too many "if you like Bridget Jones, etc" but this one just didn't come off as well as the one about Jack and Amy. I thought H was a totally unlikable character, and nothing really comedic happened to make me relate to the characters. Read the first one, but leave the rest to your own imagination. I won't be telling my friends about this one.
