It’s really classically her: bookish protagonists, rom com with a heavy dose of childhood trauma and psychological shards of glass, small-town vibes, quirky characters, and witty, unique dialogue and descriptions. If you like Henry, I think you’ll like this.
It was missing just a little bit of sparkle to be a full 5 stars for me. I enjoyed Daphne and Miles, and the premise, but the plot was just a slow-rolling coast. I don’t feel particularly attached to the characters either, and I still don’t understand Miles’s third act *choice.* It was a choice.
I still enjoyed this one and am glad I preordered.
Also, this one is hardly steamy. It’s technically open door, but not graphic at all. The first kiss had me hot and bothered more than anything else. I think this would be fine for a high schooler.

A bit of a slow start but I really loved the character development. It felt like the characters were in their 20s, not their 30s.
I’m a fan of how Emily Henry writes her men and Miles is no exception.
The ending was a bit abrupt and I would’ve liked it to be drawn out a bit more but that seems to be Emily Henry’s style. I appreciated the witty line to end the book.
Would love to see this as a movie!!
Personally would prefer not to have the detailed spicy scenes so went down 0.25 rating for that (but recognise this is totally personal preference).
