My Dog Hates You, (Paperback)

<b>She trusts her dog's judgment more than her own. The problem is he was never judging them.</b><p>Ayla Navarro is twenty-four, Puerto Rican-Turkish, and freshly heartbroken in a six-hundred-square-foot apartment in Brooklyn. She has a freelance copywriting job, a purple couch she found on the sidewalk, and Atlas - a rescue shepherd mix with amber eyes and opinions about everything.</p><p>Especially the men she dates.</p><p>When Atlas growls, she walks away. When he approves, she leans in. For a year and a half, the system works. Evan the finance guy: immediate tribunal. Jayden the photographer: cautious warning. Lucas the chef who love-bombed her with twelve-course dinners: full alarm. Noah the steady software engineer: nothing which turns out to be its own kind of answer.</p><p>Then Atlas sits down next to Malik Hassan, an urban planner who fixes a broken fire hydrant on her block and uses her 311 report to ask her for coffee, and stays there. Immediately. Without the process.</p><p>Which should be the answer Ayla has been waiting for.</p><p>Except her vet has a theory. And her best friend Sofia has a theory. And the more Ayla thinks about it, the more she realizes: Atlas was never reading them.</p><p>He was reading her.</p><p>A warm, sharp, funny novel about modern dating in New York City, the difference between anxiety and instinct, and learning to trust yourself again after you have spent a very long time trusting everything else first.</p><p><b>Perfect for fans of contemporary romance, women's fiction, and emotional coming-of-age stories set in New York City.</b></p><p><i>"Dogs respond to anxiety. They're not reading the other person. They're reading you."</i></p>
