Emily Henry, my therapist is sending you a bill.

Jokes aside, easily my favorite of hers. EASILY. I don't have any coherent thoughts on it yet.

lighthearted

2.0

Said in my best Mean Girls voice: "Stop trying to make chortle and guffaw happen." As a reader, I find Emily Henry's gross overuse of these words to be unbelievably distracting and quite annoying. Maybe she was trying (too hard) to be funny, quirky, or charming and completely missed the mark?

Yet again, narrator Julia Whelan was the saving grace. She single-handedly carried me through another Emily Henry story. 

If Emily Henry's characters were working with

a therapist, then she'd be out of a job. So much projection and refusal to communicate like healthy adults. And what is with all the ghosting?!

Who feels their

organs with that frequency? Or... ever? First Daphne feels her organs are charring and overbaking, then she feels them icing over.

Seriously, what does that even mean?

Notable quote: 

“Everything worth doing comes with some risk.”

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.
