Overall this is a cute read. The two main characters, January and Gus, end up switching genres of books for their latest release. It details their journey as individuals to eventually rekindling a previous flame. Overall, a great beach read! ;)

do I think it's a literary masterpiece? no. but I do think it's an extremely likeable contemporary romance. Emily Henry is master of all things, and I am here for it. the emotional rollercoaster from the silly banter to the crippling shame of the Third Act Misunderstanding™️ had me pulling out the Kindle every free chance. 

Sexy, Evil Gus is exactly the kind of love interest I root for - complicated, a little broken, but sweet, well meaning, and unproblematic. He has no jealous rages, no toddler meltdowns, no commitment issues. Maybe a bit of a grump, but a very solid dude.

some readers will probably be put off by the strong themes of grieving a recently deceased parent and dealing with the paradigm shift of the parent's previously unknown second life.  I'm here to cry so it worked for me :)
