As the younger sister who craves parental acceptance and as an extrovert who is forced to be an introvert, this book hit so close to home. So many things that Harriet felt about her home life are things that I struggle with too. The fear of losing your friends so you just push them away to get it over with is also so close to home.
I can't thank EmHen enough for writing this and for me being able to read it during a chapter of my life where I needed it most.

I was fighting for my life in the first 150 pages. If this wasn't for my book club I might have given up. But I glad I persevered because it did get better in the second half. The book has really stellar peripheral characters esp. the relationship between the three women which was so sweet and I honestly preffered that to her romance with Wyndham. Also, what in the hell kind of name is Wyndham??? Ms Henry (and other romance authors) please I'm begging you, free yourself from the shackles of third act conflicts. It makes the endings clunky and overly saccharrine.
The best part this book is that I once again realized that contemporary romances are not for me (there are exceptions though). Im definitely a literary and speculative fiction girly. Either way Emily Henry really is fantastic writer and there some really sweet moments that had me kicking my feet and giggling.
