Overall I liked the characters and the story. I liked the build up of the romance but mixed in with the very real life situation of right person, wrong time. I knocked off a star because of all the mentions of he's so big and I'm so small and because miscommunication tropes are kind of over done.

I really enjoyed this book and love the author, but I had to rate it down because the climax didn’t hit for me. The reveal of the conflict of their past was much smaller of an event than I expected and honestly thought it be a much mor climatic reveal.

I put a bunch of emily henry books on hold because everyone was reading them and keep slogging through even though they are Not For Me. the characters feel indistinguishable from each other and each book reads so wildly manic pixie that i have to scream sometimes. emily henry can write compelling fast reads that feel good going down; those just aren’t usually what i enjoy.

Honestly Emily Henry can do no wrong and this was exactly what I needed to get me out of a reading slump that I was so deep in. I love that the story focused on their friendship more than anything. Obviously it’s a friends-to-lovers trope, but their romantic relationship didn’t feel rushed. Definitely a slow burn but the banter between Alex and Poppy was excellent and I found myself laughing out loud so much throughout this entire book. Something about Emily Henry’s writing pulls me in so easily and I cannot wait to read more from her. Definitely an auto-buy author at this point. Overall a fun, easy read.
