not to put anyone off this book but i really didn’t like it. i haven’t liked any romance novels, i really hate the tropes abs the dialogue and the characters.
The only thing I liked about this book was how neither of them wanted kids, the names of the stores in town, and how the writing was good. But some of the major plot points were so random like;
Why is Charlie’s mum so insistent that only family can run the bookstore? That’s just stupid. Literally could have avoided the whole book if she wasn’t stupid. Charlie’s character also felt like it had no depth. I couldn’t see any spark between the characters and I didn’t care for them whatsoever,, it made me cringe rather than cry when they decided to break up rather than go long distance. And breaking up would’ve been a better end to the story because coming back together didn’t make any sense. anyways.
.
i guess romance is just not for me !

THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ

It is not just a romance, but it also explores the bond of sisterhood, family, balance of work/home life, and understanding the importance of following your passions. 

The romance is also super cute between Nora and Charlie! Nora allowing herself to explore romance while understanding her role as big sister felt super relatable. Emily Henry's writing with sparkling dialogue, complex characters felt so real. 

read if you enjoy books, exploring family dynamics, and cute romances that are just a little more than a hallmark movie.

Thank you to NetGalley and Libro.fm for the advanced reading/listening copies.

I could not have loved this book more! This is the first Emily Henry book I've read and I'm moving more of hers up to the top of my TBR. The characters were wonderfully complex. I wasn't ready for the book to end and I hope some of these side characters have their own stories ;)

The narrator of the audiobook was fantastic. The timing was perfect - not too fast, not too slow.
