I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I loved Alice and Hayden!!! I loved their rivals to lovers storyline (although were they ever really rivals???)!!! I loved the slow burn (which I usually am not a fan of)!!! I loved the mystery throughout!!! I loved the plot twist!!! I loved how everything came back around!!! It takes a lot for me to cry with a book, and I was reading the last few pages through tears!!! Were there some elements that felt kind of unnecessary??? Sure!!! But that didn’t detract from the book as a whole. FIVE STARS!!!

This was so good, but the ending almost wrapped it up too quickly, disproportionate to the rest

I love Emily Henry's writing. I liked this book a lot but it is definitely not my favorite of hers. I found myself not really caring for the side plot even though it really did come together beautifully in the end. I laughed, cried and swooned (because damn does she know how to write a swoon worthy MMC). Overall I enjoyed reading it.
