There’s not a single book this woman makes that I won’t absolutely adore with my whole being.
Whoever says this is the “worst” of her books is down baaaaad, but gotta respect everyone’s tastes (although I will not take any criticism on Emily Henry’s books, ever).
If I thought of myself a lover of the friends to lovers trope without having read any actual book with it, now I can confidently say that I am indeed a sucker for it.
God I loved everything in this book, I swear. The emotion, the tender and passionate love, the teasing and the relationships all throughout it. Amazing.
A part of me wishes we got a tiny extra chapter on how my lovelies Poppy and Alex are doing after the epilogue but another part of me loves Emily for letting us rummage around our own minds to see what we believe they are up to.
It’s just that this book and the characters in it, spoke to me, and I love it.

Kept trying to get into this and couldn’t. No discernible chemistry between them and nary a sexual moment. I can’t imagine the payoff is worth it when I feel like I know exactly how it ends.
2.25/5
This book was dreadful. Extremely boring. The characters were badly written and I didn't feel any chemistry between them at all. The book mostly focused on the locations and what attraction each city had instead of a romance between the protagonists.
Until Poppy got sick (4 years ago) I had not even one sign that Alex might have feelings towards her. There was nothing to work with. I would love to hear something from his perspective, maybe I'd have a different opinion, but there was nothing. He was only ever talking about Sarah (and Poppy was too) and all I knew was that Alex was in love with Sarah.
And I was supposed to believe he loved Poppy for 12 years? No. Absolutely not. I hated that.
The plot was so boring, I was forcing myself to read this book. I liked Beach Read so much that I had so much hope for this book but I was disappointed. this book was recommended to me multiple times and yet all I feel is boredom and a slight resentment.
I really hope that other books by this author will be my cup of tea, because this one was not.

hot take: tuscany was bigger than croatia (iykyk).
everything is else was personal.
re read: this was even better the second time since the timeline wasn’t stressing me out. poppy and alex are forever sooooo important to me… THEY’RE FRIENDS ‼️‼️‼️

I really enjoyed that although both protagonists seem pretty perfect for each other, they have different wants and expectations and lived experiences. The ‘lack of communication’ trope works well with this one. I also liked the resolution with first boyfriend
