There are so many mixed reviews for this book that my expectations were not that high. I tried to physically read this when it first came out and couldn't get into it, but then I listened to the audiobook and I actually quite enjoyed the story once I could get further in. It definitely gave Evelyn Hugo vibes and it wasn't the most unique storyline ever, but if you're an EmHen fan, I'd say to give this a shot (on audio, probably).

Updated EmHen ranking:
1) Funny Story
2) People We Meet on Vacation
3) Great Big Beautiful Life
4) Happy Place
5) Book Lovers
6) Beach Read

This is only my second Emily Henry book so I can’t really comment on how it compares to her others. I really liked the mystery aspect with the unfolding of Margaret’s story, but the chemistry between Hayden and Alice fell flat for me. Not only did it go from 0 to 15 to 100 in a VERY short time, but there were silly “boundaries” that they kept setting themselves up to break. It got old pretty quick. After 2 books, not sure she’s an auto-buy another for me. But willing to try one more before I definitively decide!

I hesitate to call this one a romance but it was lovely and memorable. I almost feel like I would’ve preferred this from another author, but Henry meanders to her point and it’s a wonderful story about familial connection.
