Emily Henry has done it again. I was skeptical about this book bc it didn’t seem like her usual style, but I think this might actually be one of my favorites. I loved seeing the mystery of Margaret Ives unraveling with every chapter. And the plot twist completely shocked me. I will say that I was more interested in the mystery of the Ives family rather than the romance between Hayden and Alice.

This book felt misgenred, it is not a rom com but more of a generational women's fiction with a romantic side plot. Those two genres felt like they were competing most of the time,  even though they all came together in the end. I also had trouble keeping up with the Ives family tree and history.
