i’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews of this book but i personally loved it. i found the story to be interesting and kept me hooked, i enjoyed the interviewing aspect with Margaret and getting to learn both her story along with watching Hayden and Alice’s story unfold. i adored them both so so much and their chemistry off the jump was so good - i had a great time reading this one. definitely recommend!

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!
