I enjoyed the main love interests and how they actively worked through problems and worked to understand and apologize with each other. Their issues seemed more grounded in logic versus narrative contrivances. They were not able to talk to each other about certain things due to
I was also quite moved by the parental relationship with the main female character and her mother. I loathed the mother. She made me so angry.
Margaret and the story she told were so interesting and heartbreaking.
And Julia Wheylan, when she read Margaret in a moment of seething anger, her voice gave me chills. She sounded genuinely scary. She did a great job on the audiobook.

Unfortunately, I was not so invested in Margaret's story, I believe it could have deserved more "show, don't tell" and I while the "stories" had a different writing style, which made them more authentic, I like Emily Henry's general writing style better.
Then again, I enjoyed reading about Alice and Hayden a lot.
