Praise for Knowing Me Knowing You: ‘Jeevani Charika writes the perfect blend of realism and romance, with delightfully flawed characters, real problems, and a love story as warm and comforting as a wearable blanket. I wolfed this down. It's a really charming second-chance romance read, so enjoyable and engaging it got me through a bout of covid. (Are you allowed to put “Better than paracetamol” on a book jacket? Because this really worked).’K.J. Charles‘Jeevani has a gift for writing relatable angsty characters who you desperately want to succeed. Knowing me Knowing You was a rollicking read with a fresh take on my favourite enemies to lovers trope. The perfect weekend read.’Rebecca Raisin‘I totally loved this book. Jeevani has a lovely way of building her characters so that they seem absolutely real. I was completely drawn into the story and fell deeply in love with Gihan – honestly I felt if Alex didn't want him I'd have him! A beautiful tale of true love overcoming all obstacles.’ Kathleen McGurl‘Knowing Me, Knowing You was so real I feel as if I know Alex and Gihan as personal friends. Jeevani Charika has the perfect touch with character, story and sensitive subjects. I’m ready for her next book already.’ Sue Moorcroft
