As someone who almost exclusively read romance books as a teen, beach read really hit the spot. It made me feel warm inside like you get with couples that your root for but also kept it adult. It was like a proper development in my reading material and I loved it. Admittedly I pictured north bear shores perhaps a bit different to how the author intended but that’s just because I’ve grown up around Scottish lochs. I think both january and gus had their own perfect plot lines so it wasn’t just centred around their sexual tension. And unfortunately now I’d like you read their novels as described at the end of the book! My favourite thing about them was that they all felt real. I have no personal connection to cults, bookshop owners or affair partners and yet each character was their very own person that added to the book.

I loved Julia Whelan as the narrator for this. She rly bought to life all of the characters. Her voice is also nice. 
I liked the slow burn aspect and how the book centered around January and Gus’s problems. I thought it would be more grumpy x sunshine but I ended up liking it the way it was. I liked the second chance thing too. 
-0.5 stars because the spicy scenes were significantly different than the ones in take a hint, Dani brown and it threw me off. Definitely a me problem, not an Emily Henry problem! The order u read books in matters, and I shoulda taken that into account before diving into this.

It was a sweet, endearing, and (at times tear-jerking) book. I didn’t find it necessarily ground breaking, but it doesn’t seem like that’s what Henry was aiming for. Kept me turning pages and got me out of a slump!
