emily henry has done it again. it’s a cute fluffy love story without being cringey. predictable without being boring. invokes emotion without being completely uncomfortable. i loved this book SO SO SO much. i may be a bit biased because i see so much of myself in daphne and her experiences, but this definitely takes the cake for my favorite emily henry book. this book is high on my rankings for the year as well. her relationship with her dad honestly and truly made me set the book down for days. i’m currently getting married and it was just too much for me to see my own relationship with my dad reflected in writing like this. i’m glad she was able to sort of sort things out with her dad though. maybe one day we’ll get there.

Loved this so much - my favorite Emily Henry so far. I’m so glad I bought/listened; Happy Place, last year, was my least fave - so I was a little wary heading into this one. I love the complexity of the characters’ backstories, and the ways in which they communicate and miscommunicate around the patterning they learned in their differently rough childhoods. All felt so real and thoroughly drawn, including for the side characters! I love Daphne and Miles so much, and their chemistry both together and in the web of friendships that populate the book. I love the way the food throughout the book gives us such a sense of place and care. So beautiful!! Made me so happy reading this that I drew it out a few days just to enjoy a little bit longer. ❤️
