This feels like a dream. It absolutely took me to heaven and threw back to earth, but in a good way. Nora: the main character and Libby: her sister, has the most amazing sibling relationships ever. The way they care for each other, worry about each other, put each other before everything is absolutely marvelous.
Nora has this big sister aura, that you feel instantly protected. I would like to have a sister like Nora. Libby on the other hand, doesn't seem to show it that much, but also deeply care for her sister. The story runs through with the suspicion of what happens and why would Libby suddenly wants to spend a vacation with her sister.
And Charlie....
He's just.... Damn. I just don't have any words to describe him. He's the guy who has correct intuition, best words at perfect timing and doesn't even know he's good. Typical small-town  grumpy boy.
The fact that they are book lovers, and the way they describe their love for reading and books, gives me euphoria. As a reader myself, knowing someone's feelings towards books is such a beautiful thing. It has nice flowing, easy to understand language and good writing.

Didn’t expect to like this book so much given its “Hallmark Christmas movie” type plot, but I loved the characters, their backstories, the familial and romantic love, and the ending

this was my favourite emily henry book of the three i’ve read. i loved the two mc’s, their quick wit had me laughing out loud quite a few times. the tension was pretty good too. the one full spice scene was a little underwhelming but didn’t dampen the experience.

It was a very good book with amazing character development. It really makes you root for the characters and hope everyone gets their happy ending. The dynamic between Charlie and Nora was well thought out, and a nice twist on a small town romance novel.

It seems like a fun summer read at first but quickly becomes much more than that. There was so many emotions and I finished it in one afternoon. The middle does get slow but it speeds up.
