So this book was not bad, but for me it was SUCH a disappointment. To be fair, Happy Place is one of my favorite books of all time, so I guess I should have tempered my expectations a little bit but this fell so flat for me. I feel like the characters, especially Miles, lacked the same level or depth that I expect after reading Happy Place. I also absolutely hated the third act break up premise and found it to be so unnecessarily stupid. Major miscommunication/lack of communication trope, but done terribly and I just didn't like it.

Again, it wasn't a bad book. I did like the characters overall and the premise itself was fun and cute.

My favorite Emily Henry book. Everything about her books reads so close to real life, yet as a reader I still felt like I was in another world. This is perfect for people who need reality but a mental escape regardless. Miles and Daphne are everything, and I feel so at peace after seeing their growth.

Foi uma ótima leitura, com humor, o mundo de livros e literatura, trabalhando questões que atingem não somente o romance clichê, mas fala sobre independência.
O casal me prendeu desde o começo, o que fez com que a leitura fosse rápida, de devorar sem nem ver passar. Acho que lidou com situações bem reais, que torna a leitura mais próxima de nós, as relações sendo construídas pouco a pouco, eu gostei bastante. Numa escala de Loucos Por Livros até De Férias Com Você, eu digo que Daphne e Nora iriam arrasar juntas.
