Damn you, Emily Henry, for making me ugly cry so many times while reading this book. Maybe it’s because I was already in my feels for various reasons or because I’m just a hopeless romantic, but I loved it nonetheless!

This was a great read. It was fun, and relatable at a lot of parts. I liked the ending. The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars was because it was good but not something I would read again. I wasn’t over the moon about it, but it was good. Would recommend.

a really solid read !! i think for me, set up and romance trope wise, this isn't something i would really reach for. fake dating and second chance? ehhh not really my thing. however, i will say that emily henry does a really good job at keeping me invested outside of romance plots.

typically, authors put all their thought into the main characters, leaving the side characters lacking and suffering. but not emily henry !! she creates characters that feel genuine and tangible, including side characters. i liked how happy place tackled the message of relationships growing and evolving over time, leading to people drifting from each other due to new changes in life. it's such a common issue that every person has. the friendship dynamic is definitely what kept me hooked. romance wise, besides the tropes, i just wasn't FULLY feeling it. i loved our fmc, but i personally felt the mmc was lacking for me in that department. i can't really put my finger on what i didn't like about him but it's still good otherwise.

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.
