Emily Henry

4.07 AVERAGE


A fun quick read- definitely a ‘potato chip’ book that I didn’t want to put down. Giving 3 stars because I wish there was more character development and more details about the setting, etc. I wanted more details, description, and back story about a lot of things. This is not a genre I typically read so maybe this is normal. If you’re looking for a quick and easy palette cleanser, this may be a book to grab but if you’re wanting depth, look elsewhere.

I like romance stories, but I don’t love Emily Henry using the word ‘spastic’ 😫 I’ll read about the plot online, thank you!

This was an easy and entertaining read. I’m not one for romance novels but glad I made the exception!

Absolutely absurd that she named the main characters January and August(us) lmao

Ok the way I could probably write a whole essay about this book. As a Gus Everett type bleak literary fiction lover and romance avoider, I actually enjoyed this book so much
