3.5 For some reason, I can’t connect well with Emily Henry books. This one bounced around and felt a bit hollow

Full Disclosure: I strongly prefer romantic comedies that are heavy on the comedy, or at least have witty banter throughout.

The first quarter of this was really funny before slowing down a bit into the main characters dealing with their personal baggage. NOT as much as they did in [b:Happy Place|61718053|Happy Place|Emily Henry|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1660145160l/61718053._SY75_.jpg|97321939] (which I hated), but enough that it took it from a 4 star to a 3 star read.

Overall Emily Henry rankings:

1. Book Lovers (by a mile)
2. Beach Read
3. People We Meet on Vacation
4. Funny Story
5. Happy Place

Idk. It was a fun vacation read, but I think I might just be over these types of romances. They're not really my age group and the issues are not ones I relate to. I think this was my last Emily Henry read. Still cute though.
