This was one of my favourite reads this year! 
The last couple of chapters felt rushed but overall a really cute story that had layers to it and a surprising amount of substance. This book broached some important topics that I don't often see addressed in romance books, and while some parts weren't resolved, they were handled well and leave room for the reader to contemplate. I might be an Emily Henry fan now 😍

Will update this later but I’m just so pissed off rn 

literally fuck off. I hate pregnancy trope endings so much.

Also, since when is 1,70 m considered tall?

Not my favorite Emily Henry book (I’ve now read all of them), but I liked how she took a chance to do something different. I personally don’t think the story was unique enough to grab my complete attention, but it had some lovely moments and the ending was really well done. Also screw you Julia Whelan for making me emotional from your beautiful narration.

If The Lucky One by Taylor Swift was a story, it would be Margaret. 

I absolutely devoured this book; I picked it up and could barely do anything else, including sleep. I think Hayden is one of my favorite EH love interests. I adored him from the moment he accidentally drank Alice's too-sweet iced latte and he never disappointed me. Something about him is just so good. It did not take any convincing for me to like them as a couple. There was something so fulfilling about seeing them come together over something not completely centered on their work; it felt like a genuine, real connection. 

I enjoyed the plot and especially the element of mystery, of piecing together the story alongside Alice. I would've liked a bit more at the end, after some of the character revelations. I wanted to revisit the relationships with
Cecil
and
Jodi
- maybe even a nice little fluff piece on the island, without drawing attention to Margaret of course.
