5.0

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.

Drug use is weed gummies -discussed for management of chronic pain, as well as on page use during a movie and at a carnival.

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.

I think Emily Henry was in my house, studying me and picking apart my brain when coming up with Harriet's character.

As the younger sister who craves parental acceptance and as an extrovert who is forced to be an introvert, this book hit so close to home. So many things that Harriet felt about her home life are things that I struggle with too. The fear of losing your friends so you just push them away to get it over with is also so close to home.

I can't thank EmHen enough for writing this and for me being able to read it during a chapter of my life where I needed it most.
