Emily Henry has done it again!! I love how all of her books blend friendship and family dynamics with the romance aspect. This book was so unexpected… in the best way possible.

So good I love Emily Henry so much
For some reason this felt spicier than her other books? But it makes sense bc the tension between miles and Daphne was insane. I rly like how it was all written 
My star rating doesn’t rly mean anything I liked it a lot but it doesn’t have the same meaning to me that pwmov does. And tbh I kinda forgot abt the minor details already

I enjoyed this book, but it definitely has been the Emily Henry book that took me the longest to get through.

this might be my new favorite emily henry book!! it was so much fun and such an easy read. i adored daphne, miles, and all of the side characters! besides their romance, i was genuinely interested in everything else going on with daphne’s read-a-thon and all the regulars at the places miles knew. just so so good!!

Yup. Emily Henry holds up. I always find myself wrapped up in the message of her books. She pairs the swoon worthy romance with reality and all humanity’s messed up little bits in a moving way. Every. Time.

This story was such an interesting plot, no matter how far fetched it was. But it’s tropes I love and challenges that cinch my heart.

The sarcasm didn’t hit quite as solidly as it could have, and the banter seemed to always be bantering… but it made me cry… so I forgive it.

Overall this was a good read. Light hearted and not too serious. I liked the relationship that was presented in the book. Although, the entire time I was reading this, I couldn’t help but think that Emily Henry likes to reuse tropes and it kind of made me think that she just writes the same book in different settings. Just my thoughts but doesn’t make it a bad book! But I probably won’t read another one of hers because of the repetition.
