I enjoyed this book, and it got me stating up til 1am to finish it! Gus and January are great characters

I just felt like it was very similar to Book Lovers Nora and Charlie, enemies (or rivals) to lovers with some kind of deal or bet that throws them together. This may just be a theme in Emily Henry's writing, so it's not a problem, just interesting. I loved how whilst the romance was obvious and the main driving force, the book bet goes into some pretty dark and serious places.

Big fan of this book, and will probably read again

I love all of Emily Henry's books and loved this one! It held darker themes than a lot of her others, and stuff I wasn't expecting, but it just added depth to a well-rounded novel. It's a brilliant and nuanced look at grief and losing a parent, and how it can impact your world view. The characters were brilliant and as always the actual romance was 🔥🔥🔥. I especially love her dialogue between characters!

There is content that may take you by surprise in the discussion of cults, coercive control, abuse, and murder within the cult. The death of a parent and surrounding grief is pivotal to the plot and throughout. There is also a lot of discussion of infidelity

i enjoyed this. i was scared that finally reading emily henry, it wouldn’t live up to the hype but this was a really lovely love story.

i loved that they were writers and they spent the plot trying to write in each other’s genres, whilst both trying to work through their own grief. despite all of this they grew and changed but became perfect imperfect versions of who they already were.

the spice was pretty good and there was some pretty writing in there too. it was a quick and easy read, with emotions but not heart-wrenching.

it was a little too close to home and heavy for me personally as reading is my escape and i wasn’t really expecting it BUT it was amazing otherwise i felt like gus and january were with me while i was reading it and their fears were relatable and made me feel a little less alone

I have mixed feelings on this book. This was my first Emily Henry read and I have to say first thing that really threw me off was the writing style. It was more immature than I expected, and I really disliked the little comments and thoughts added in italics or parenthesis. It just took me out of the story for one awkward minute.

As I read however, the story grew on me. The heavy themes didn't feel as awkward as the beginning and I started to see more chemistry between the characters. I have to admit, Henry's writing isn't my favorite but she knows how to write chemistry really well. The spicy scenes were enjoyable and intimate and the tension was present.

Overall it was a fun and easy dance read that I finished in less than two days. I don't really understand the hype around her and her books buts I didn't regret reading it.
