I’m so in love with Emily Henry’s books, she’s so freaking good at writing lovely books.
And these books always inject the tears in me during the last hundred pages, and I love it every time.
Both Nora and Charlie were amazing as themselves, but they felt like two parts of one scissor that belong to each other. And until the very last page I hoped for how this book ends. That they have each other in the way they want.
And I definitely love that Libby was there and his family and all of the weird - in German I would say schrullig - parts of Sunshine Falls.
And then Dusty. Now I want to know what’s up with her, how her life looks like etc (btw I loved the Easter egg of the January Andrews circus book).
Last but not least - the fact that there was no third act breakup, even though there did appear some external conflict that was lovely, in the end.

this book was pretty good. it was not anything groundbreaking, and i didnt find i connected much with any of the characters but i enjoyed the banter and the sisters’ relationship. i found that the talk about tropes and other book characteristics a bit too meta and it felt a little forced/cringy at times.
while i didnt love this book in general, i did lovethe way that the conversation about their childhood was written. i thought it was very realistic that nora would have a much more romanticized view of their childhood and i really liked that libby told her that she didnt need to take care of her anymore and that their mom wasnt perfect. it explained a lot about nora and it was written quite well.
while i didnt love this book in general, i did love

finally some good fucking food
i’m used to be burned by popular books that feature hetero romances but oh my god. i get it. emily henry gets it. miss henry you get me. finally a popular author that gets me. someone said this is for all the virgos out there and that’s so accurate. this is for us virgos!!!
i actually believed nora and charlie liked each other. the relationship between nora and libby was the best part though. the discussions on love and life and living fully for yourself mean so much so me, so much that i can bypass all the little nitpicky things that would’ve bumped it to 4 stars and give it a full 5 stars.
…but speaking of those. i don’t feel as if they were actual rivals, or they barely were rivals. that dynamic is marketed to hell and back but its not really present imo. and it does get info dumpy at times. also the timeline is a little wack, and i get that’s part of it, but damn! but, to an extent, it does still feel drawn out, which i appreciate.
but, overall, it was a pleasant and entirely welcomed surprise. i’ll be thinking about this book often.
