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.

This was my second attempt at a novel by Henry because Happy Place was not my cup of tea and I dnfed it. 

I think maybe I just wasn't in the right headspace for this book. It screams summer romance novel, so maybe I would've enjoyed it more if I had read it at another time. 

Instead, I was mostly annoyed by the characters and their inability to communicate until the very end. Henry's style of writing is flowery and often felt over the top for me- like a Hallmark movie. Almost nothing about the plot felt believable and everyone's emotions were dialed up to 11 even when it made no sense for things to be so dramatic. And I understand why so many people would love that! I guess I was hoping for something more realistic. 

It felt like the book dragged out at a slow pace. They also did not fill the enemies to lovers trope, in my opinion. Nora had some relatable traits, but in general I could not connect with her. I liked how intense and a tad grumpy Charlie was, but that wasn't enough to hold my interest.

Overall, I might try another novel of hers next summer when I'm looking for easy, brain candy type books. It just wasn't what I was in the mood for, I suppose!

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.
