My least favorite Emily Henry to date. It wasn't terrible, just boring. 

The lead couple and their romance was pretty unconvincing and Margaret's story just wasn't interesting to me. The big reveal was predictable and not worth slogging through all this family history for.

The overall vibe was different enough from previous books that I forgot I was reading a Emily Henry novel.

This is a different type of story-telling from Emily Henry. I wasn't sure what to think for a lot if the book, since I wasn't really invested in the secondary storyline. In the end, i loved it!! I loved the connections, mystery and the relationship development.

This is one of my favorite books of Emily Henry. I was a little nervous going into reading this I wouldn’t like it given the mixed reviews but I am part of the camp of people who enjoyed this book so much. 

I think if you’re expecting a romance heavy story, you’ll be disappointed. This is a story about how love surrounds the characters in the story and not solely focused on a romance.

The plot twist of Hayden being Margaret’s grandson was insane!! I didn’t expect it.

This book had me crying at the end and I’m so happy the characters got their happy end.
