Imagine being blindsided by your fiancé when he dumps you for his childhood best friend…and then moving in with his new girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend simply because you need a place to live. Yikes.

This felt like reading a rom-com movie—witty banter, lovable characters, and summertime vibes. Daphne and Miles are both mourning their respective breakups alone until their living situation forces them to interact. From there, they somehow, accidentally tell their exes that they’re happily dating and, of course, they’ll attend their swiftly upcoming wedding.

I just couldn’t put it down. I loved the chemistry, the emotional baggage, the real-life struggles. It felt like the characters had real substance to them. As soon as I read the last chapter, I was sad it was over. I guess I like romances after all?? In case you’re wondering… my ranking of Emily Henry books is Funny Story tied with Book Lovers. Happy Place was super meh. And I’ve been told I have to read Beach Read.

Was good but not great. The voices were not it for me, especially Miles. I feel like I might have liked it more if I had read it rather than listened to it. Also felt like there could have been more that happened - some of the plot fell a little flat. Some of her daddy issues but close to home- not letting herself be hopeful and have her own life. Liked the library stuff - reminded me of my time at the ERC.

A lovely romcom from Emily Henry! The pacing of this story was perfect, and I loved the community of side characters. Also Miles is just the perfect book boyfriend!

Another fun read from Emily Henry - her books truly are the romantic comedies of literature, they're sweet and a little spicy and you know exactly what's going to happen from the second you pick it up.
