I really enjoyed how the two characters opened up to each other about their pasts, which brought them closer. 

I did like the idea of the competitiveness of writing the book between them. 

I always have enjoyed Emily Henry’s writing style and I think I will buy her other books that I haven’t read yet. 

You could feel the emotion she has put into this book from the characters which I felt personally too.

I didn't expect to cry so much in a feel-good, summer romance, but here we are! 
I appreciate the realistic and complex characters dealing with real life issues. I do wish the blurb for the book had at least mentioned that grief / death of a parent would be a huge motivator for the plot. 

That being said, the romance itself took up the majority of the story and really felt like watching a rom-com. 

Overall a nice read, but definitely check the CWs and make sure you're in the right place to read it! 

I will absolutely be checking out more books by this author.
