Easy beach read that uses lots of contemporary romance tropes. I didn’t find it laugh out loud funny and felt some plot aspects could have been fleshed out more, but there were some witty lines that made me smile.

One of the main character’s mothers passes away in childbirth before the story begins. There is discussion of how the character’s father never recovered from his grief. One main character recounts several instances of bullying from her childhood. One character is made fun of (in an unnecessarily aggressive way) by two other characters for liking reality tv. One character gets pneumonia (there is a detailed account of her illness). One minor character is described smoking marijuana. Another minor character smokes a cigarette. Lots of drinking (including one scene where the two in characters get quite drunk). A few mentions of pets that passed away. Several brief sex scenes. Occasional use of “f*ck” and other swear words.

One character has a pregnancy scare, but the tests come back negative. One character has a vasectomy. Although there is no physical cheating, the two main characters are physically affectionate and emotionally intimate, even when they are in relationships with other people. The two main characters go to therapy (separately) to work out their issues.

”home is my favorite place.”

This slow burn, friends to lovers romance filled with inside jokes, pining and tender moments was such a joy to read! I love how Emily Henry is able to create not only a beautiful love story, but one that also dives into more meaningful topics such as therapy and grief.

I actually loved the back and forth dual timeline aspect and getting to see how their friendship blossomed over the years and the current day chapters showing the aftereffects of their fractured relationship with Poppy & Alex finding their way back to each other.

I just can’t wait to pick up more from EH❤️

Croatia is on page 319. All the build up felt underwhelming

Such a great read to kick off summer! I loved the history behind Alex and Poppy, how it helped flesh out their characters. It was so fun to read about their development over the course of twelve summers. I could see this being a rom-com and honestly, hearing that they’re adapting it into a movie, I’m not surprised!

There is one sex scene but it’s not super detailed.
