I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the book drew from When Harry Met Sally (one of the best rom coms of all time). At times the book made me  anxious, or amused, or a little sad. I did feel like the end was somehow too rushed after the slowness of the first portion. So I guess my complaint is that it could’ve been longer. Still, I appreciate Emily Henry’s style of writing that uses romance to also broach other important aspects of life.

Normally not one for romcoms, but this made me feel all kinds of happy and invested. Loved the descriptions. I loved Alex.  The emotions were so tangible. And frustrating on occasion. Just learn to communicate! 

The only complaint I have is that the incident that made them not talk for two years was partially what I expected and also underwhelming. There was a lot of build up to it for it to be kind of a "that's it?" moment. 

But, still worth it.

It’s fascinating. How so much of love is about who you are with someone.

i really wanted to love this because poppy and alex were so cute and funny. but sadly i personally can’t rate it higher because of the lack of communication being the reason why they went 2 years no contact + 12 years in total of being in love with each other but doing nothing. it was so frustrating when reading and learning more of their background/relationship, and seeing how blatantly the lack of communication made them (and me) suffer.
