While I enjoyed the book, this is my least favorite of her works so far. Things were just unnecessarily messy and I didn't enjoy the flashbacks as much as the present day sections.

🎧 gehört als Hörbuch

⚠️ Achtung SPOILER enthalten


Eigentlich mag ich den Exes to Lovers Trope nicht sooo gerne, aber hier finde ich ihn gut umgesetzt, ich hatte bei Harriet und Wyns Gesprächen meist so einen Kloß im Hals und dachte mir, wenn sie am Schluss nicht zusammen kommen, wäre ich forever heartbroken. I mean:

... Ich sehe dich lieber 5 Tage im Jahr, als irgend jemand anderen die ganze Zeit...

Es wird gut veranschaulicht, was die Schwächen der einzelnen Charaktere sind, weshalb sie sich selbst um Weg stehen

und vor allem Wyn, der wegen seiner Mental Health Issues und seinem niedrigem Selbstbewusstsein, da er sich selbst ständig als 'dumm' bezeichnet, Harriet verlassen hat.

Ich liebe den Found Family Trope, der wird hier super wholesome und herzerwärmend umgesetzt.🤍

Kimmy und Cleo sind so toll 😍
Generell sind die Nebencharaktere super ausgearbeitet und die Chemie zwischen ihnen stimmt einfach. Ihre Freundschaft zueinander ist herzerwärmend.
Einzig Sabrina nervt,

stichelt die ganze Zeit wegen dem abgesagten Besuch bei Cleo und Kimmy. Let it go girl 🙄 Außerdem ist es super übergriffig und manipulativ, da sie zB Harriet und Wyn ins gleiche Zimmer steckt, weil sie will, dass sie wieder zusammen kommen.

Dass dann alles auf ihre familiären Probleme und Kindheit geschoben wird, ist einfach keine Entschuldigung für ihr Verhalten.

This was cute, corny at times, but overall I really liked it. I don’t ~love~ the miscommunication trope but I found this one to be a more well-done version of the trope. I found Harriet to be a relatable character, and the friend group overall is pretty likable. My fav Emily Henry book so far!

Not my favourite Emily Henry book. It was good but

they got together like not suddenly but it lacked some explanations and communication
