I feel like they didn’t spend enough time hating/disliking each other for it to be considered enemies to lovers. I also found January to be a bit annoying at times with all the jumping to conclusions she was doing. I would’ve liked to see more competition between the two when writing their books. I liked the banter.

i enjoyed this but not as much as People We Meet On Vacation.

i didn’t connect with January and Gus all that much. also, the amount of times Gus’s “crooked mouth” and “inky, dark eyes” was brought up was actually insane.  i imagine this is what he looked like half the time —-> ⚫️🫦⚫️
 
this book did have cute moments and i liked the cheesy ending. maybe the next Emily Henry book will be a another hit for me.

I ripped through this. It''s a delight with touching moment. It feels really cinematic in a way I want to see adapted. Not as good as Book Lovers but there was no way it could be.
