Emily Henry has my whole heart. The way she writes women, female friendship, and honestly just the experiences of her characters makes me feel so seen. 

I love reading about unhinged women as much as anyone, but there's something about a woman who is trying SO HARD to be hinged and learning that it doesn't serve her the way she thought it would. I love Harriet so much.

This is my first Emily Henry read, and I can see why she is such a popular author. I love her effortlessly poetic writing style and spin on storytelling. Really enjoyed this! Perfect feel-good read for heading into Spring/Summertime.
