Overall this was a good read. Light hearted and not too serious. I liked the relationship that was presented in the book. Although, the entire time I was reading this, I couldn’t help but think that Emily Henry likes to reuse tropes and it kind of made me think that she just writes the same book in different settings. Just my thoughts but doesn’t make it a bad book! But I probably won’t read another one of hers because of the repetition.

I love how this book emphasizes that we are not our mistakes and we are only human. Miles and Daphne are so cute together. I love their banter. This book just makes me want to move to a small town and become a librarian.
