For the few things i didn’t like, I thought January was a bit annoying at times but her skepticism was definitely understandable considering what she had been through.
I also would have liked to have learned more about Gus’s point of view but at the same time i enjoyed learning about him bit by bit through Januarys perspective.

I think both January and Gus seem like very interesting protagonists, and their development together was very engaging and emotional. Often romance books banter makes me cringe, but I really liked their dynamic, it felt very Luke and Lorelai (any GG fans reading this?). Additionally, I liked the side characters, and would have liked to see more of Shadi and even Naomi (for the drama I guess!)
I also loved January’s struggle with the reality of her parents’ relationship. You don’t necessarily have to agree with what happens, and I liked that Sonya and January didn’t have a big reunion or even forgiveness. It felt very realistic to me.
Emily Henry is a very self aware writer, and although the book has a couple of those cliches, the story didn’t suffer in my opinion. I felt anxiety and trauma dealt with fairly well.
This is my first Emily Henry book, and I would totally be open to reading more!

This book is just incredible. Even though this was a reread for me, I fell in love with the characters all over again.
Emily Henry has such a talent for writing deep romance that explores all of the human emotions that stay under the surface; the hard, dark, and difficult things that make real relationships so complicatedly beautiful.
January Andrews will forever be one of my favorite characters (and I’m so glad I read the Layover epilogue this time around!)

There was a lot of repetition about Gus’s eyes, his messy crumpled clothes etc. I wonder if she did a bunch of the descriptions to just add bulk to the book.
