I didn't expect to cry so much in a feel-good, summer romance, but here we are! 
I appreciate the realistic and complex characters dealing with real life issues. I do wish the blurb for the book had at least mentioned that grief / death of a parent would be a huge motivator for the plot. 

That being said, the romance itself took up the majority of the story and really felt like watching a rom-com. 

Overall a nice read, but definitely check the CWs and make sure you're in the right place to read it! 

I will absolutely be checking out more books by this author.

IMHO - unnecessarily detailed sexual content - I didn't expect to encounter this and found it gratuitous.  Moving father- daughter relationship, female friendship, forgiveness, reflections on world views and creativity.

I felt conflicted that I wanted J and G to end up together, even though January:Naomi as Sonia: January

There was a lot of hype surrounding this book but it far exceeded my high expectations. Emily Henry has raised my standards for the romance genre and how much depth it can contain.

Would recommend the audiobook version read by Julia Whelan

I enjoyed the characters and the relationship with family but I found this book very slow and also that not a lot was going on.
