It’s June in January, because I’m in love. 🎶
I lost count of how many times I teared up while reading.
I swear I almost created a lake next to my bed.
And I’m not even sure why — I don’t usually find contemporary romance this emotional, but something about this one got under my skin.
This is a story about a writer grieving her father’s death, uncovering old family secrets, and trying to finish a novel — all while living next door to her literary rival.
It’s about grief, love, memory, and how healing doesn’t always come in the ways we expect.
I didn’t expect to love this book so much — but it truly surprised me.
Emily Henry is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
She has this rare gift: she takes what might seem cliché and turns it into something honest, raw, and deeply moving.
I kept wondering what exactly made it hit so hard.
Maybe it was Emily’s captivating and vivid writing.
Maybe it was the beautiful, mesmerizing setting.
The romantic, hopeful FMC.
The MMC who felt unchoosable.
The obvious chemistry between the characters — it practically jumps off the page.
The grief that soaked through almost every chapter.
The quiet love between the parents — and the mistakes January’s dad made.
And speaking of him…
I was furious with him the entire time — until I got to the letters.
The part where everything I thought I knew about him was turned upside down.
That’s when the lake really started forming.
This book broke me in the softest way possible — and I let it 💛❤️🩹
