This book is definitely a deviation from Henry's other books. At first I liked the dual stories, but as the book went on there was too much hopping around and it felt like two half-written stories instead of one fully fleshed out story. It kind of seemed like EmHen wanted to try something new, but didn't want to aliente her established reader base so instead we got a fiction memoir with a romance subplot.
I wouldn't say I disliked it, but it felt like it lacked that banter and relationship building Henry does well in her other books because there were so much of the book was dedicated to Margaret's story.

I sobbed with this book. With my dad dying i could really relate to Alice’s struggles with grief as well as Margret’s reflection on her life. I love the romance and the story and how real these people are with their flaws.

I liked Margarets' stories better than the romance between Alice and Hayden
and the ending was underwhelming.

Das Ende hat meine Bewertung nach oben korrigiert. Ich finde Hayden und Alice zauberhaft. Am Ende macht auch das Interviewformat irgendwie Sinn, finde diesen Teil der Geschichte aber eher unnötig. Musste mich durch diese Passagen etwas durch quälen. Für mich das schwächste Buch von Emily Henry (was es aber nicht allgemein zu einem schlechten Buch macht).

Not my favorite EmHen book. I looooved Alice and Hayden’s romance, but the deep dive into the Ives family distracted me from their story. I also HATED the Margaret/Hayden connection. Lost an entire star from me, just for that. It felt so…contrived? I just hated the way it played out.
