I really liked this one! 
I was so happy I finally got to read it, and after the prologue, I did not touch it for like a month. Because, of course, I was reading something else. 
But then I got back to it and it took some time to immerse myself again. But after that, I kept asking myself why I didn't pick it up sooner. It was so heartwarming! 
And gosh, Alex <3 
Do I have to say more? 
I really liked the story and the way the flashbacks were told, even though I had some understanding problems with it in the beginning. 
But this is the start of me reading more Emily Henry books in the future cuz I'm hooked. She did it.

At times it's cringy, at times it knows exactly what to say. The ending seemed promising, but had little to say other than "i love him so much."

Unfortunately, I am not a fan of the major plot conflict being miscommunication. While, I enjoyed the male love interest Alex Nilsen, I found our main character, Poppy Wright to be a little annoying at times with her lack of thoughts and consideration towards the relationship. The romance itself was cute and bubbly, especially the last few pages. The first 200 pages felt very repetitious with the vacations and it confused me sometimes with the back-to-back timelines between the past and present. The writing itself was pretty easy to read and I was engaged in where the couple were headed. However, I definitely would not recommend this book to someone that dislikes the miscommunication trope as heavily as I do.

Finally read the internet sensation book and author! And I see why there is so much buzz around it. I personally relate with Poppy, and as a flawed character, it makes her feel more real, the situation more real. I love the exploration of two sides to every story despite the entire book being in Poppy's pov. Though there were a few typos/confusing wordings, the storyline just gets me that I can't put those minor obstacles as a negative point.

Nice easy read to get me out of a reading slump. The characters were relatable and the storyline was believable in a sense that a misunderstanding can make life literally do a 180 when you are least expecting it. I liked both characters but sometimes felt Poppy was a bit much. Despite this it made me tear up at the ending. Solid romance novel.
