The story for both MC’s was surprisingly deep as well as sad. Having a brother die so suddenly and tragically… and having divorced parents who barely pay attention… both are pretty awful circumstances but the character development that these situations provided was fantastic.

The repeating day really has to be done right to be enjoyable instead of boring and she absolutely nailed it on this one.

That DONC was WILD! I think that was the most anxiety inducing part was knowing that obviously this was the day that was going to reset everything. Really it was the cherry on top.

“I fell in love with you on Valentine’s Day, Emilie, but I need more than just seven minutes.”

Such a cute read!!!💓💓💓

I enjoyed so much, I laughed and smiled but also almost cried.

I felt identified with both of them, Em and Nick, I love them🫶🏻

“For
The Lonely,
The Daydreamers,
The ones who find their friends between the pages of books—
YOU MATTER, and your happy ending WILL come. Sometimes the wait is just longer in real life than in fiction.”

“I adored my dad.He just sometimes forgot about me if I wasn’t standing right in front of him.” x2

“Love is not what is, but what isn’t.”

“I was fascinated by people whose parents were still together. It seemed surreal and impossibly beautiful to me, the idea of living out all of your childhood years with both parents, together in the same house.” x2

“Existence is the default. Merely existing, emotionally, is the baseline. Happy is, like, this floating, fluid thing that’s impossible to hold on to. Elusive as fuck. Sometimes you get lucky and have it, but it’s only a matter of time before it slips back out of your hands.”

“Then, um, I have to confess that I think I’m obsessed with you. With this.” I swallowed and said, “With us.”

“I like knowing you, Emilie Hornby.”

Good, not great. A little cliche. Not upset that I read it, just probably won’t feel the need to read it again.

Adorable romcom, first book I’ve read by Lynn Painter and so worth it. Did it as a buddy read with my best friend, tore through it. Very cute, heartfelt, funny, and inspiring. Might need a new tattoo 👀 iykyk

No spice! Appropriate for younger readers
