I really appreciated the balance of lighthearted-ness and deeper, meaningful conversation in this book. I think the grief element was done beautifully and appropriately for a YA book. The romance was very cute as well!

This was my favorite book by Emma Lord yet! Something about this story truly touched my heart so deeply, and I know that if I had been able to read this as a college freshman it would’ve hit me even harder. She absolutely nailed what this stage of life is like—that tumultuous time when you’re just starting to figure out who you are as an adult and feeling all the growing pains that comes with all that self discovery. And, as always, the romance was so sweet and heartwarming, complete with a grump/sunshine trope that I always seem to live for. Can’t recommend this book enough, especially if you’re looking for upper-YA/New Adult vibes and, of course, plenty of tasty food references on every page.
