I’d give this a 3.5 stars. Cute and sweet romance. Really the perfect “beach read”.

I really enjoyed my first Emily Henry book. The storyline and the characters were good. I liked how January and Gus didnt know how each other felt in Uni and how it all transpired later on in life how they both felt was the same. 

This one is my favorite of hers!

what a YAWN.

started out with great characters and an ever better premise, but the farther along it went the worse it got. ughhugugh this is why i can't get behind romance as a genre. they're SO inconsistent.
