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.

This book is not a disappointment like every other of her books. It is like a movie. I cried and laughed which I seem to be doing in all my books when I am in love with the characters. Which I was with in January. Gus is just a lost soul and I loved getting to know him and his past.
I didn't think I would give this book a chance. It was so slow at the beginning but I am so glad I gave it a go.
Emily Henry is my favorite author which is why I knew if I stuck with the book I would thoroughly enjoy it.
The letters had me crying so hard at the sheer amount of emotion that you could tell was being written through the page.
I wish we had more of the mum and Jnauary's conversation because I was longing for these two try and mend their relationship the whole book.
Emily, you have done it again. Definitely recommend.
