I liked this "friends to lovers" situation -- college friends with a slow burn. I enjoyed this book. I struggled to get into, but once I got in, I was hooked. I liked the two timelines -- one with the flashbacks and one in the present day -- and I liked seeing how their feelings and relationships changed over the years. I liked the pacing. The characters were alright and their relationships were interesting with how they changed over the years. The plot was decent despite being predictable.

Still, adorable, and I’m a little mad about it. How can the thing keeping these two apart be so DUMB, but the book be enjoyable enough to earn 4 stars? Ugh. I’m annoyed at myself for seeing this book’s glaring flaw and liking it anyway, and I’m annoyed with Ms. Henry for charming me enough to do so.
4 stars — begrudgingly.

The day after my birthday was a collossal mess and unexpectedly stressful. This story is a ray of sunshine. I love both Poppy and Alex. I love the way Emily Henry shows their friendship.
I even think that the third act conflict is valid.
If you like stories spanning years, travelling the world and the US and home being a person then read this book.
