My favorite Emily Henry book so far. She has a way in creating hilarious scenes and dynamic side characters. I also appreciate how she fleshed out Miles & Daphne to be human. One should always have a friend like Ashley and keep some chapstick on hand.

Attempted for book club.
- very slow
- fake dating trope didn’t make sense since everyone knew it was fake ?
- first person present tense
- new age trope of a featureless, personality-less FMC designed for the readers to project themselves into so that they can imagine Miles loving them
- their wit and banter was too similar and also obnoxious
- good representation of daddy issues though
- very slow in the beginning
- s/o to northern Michigan though
- how does a female author manage to fail at writing a woman character
- I didn’t finish in time partly because I was afraid to be seen reading it on the bus
- sex scene was meh

Although "romance" is not my typical go-to genre, this audiobook narrated by Julia Whelan was such an incredible listen! Once I started it, I couldn't stop, and then I listened to it again!
Romance is not even my typical go-to genre and repeat listens are not a common occurrence with me.
I loved everything about this book: a sweet story, endearing characters, relatable moments, around a library setting in a small town. Loved it! Looking forward to reading this author's other books.

This is the best Emily Henry book I’ve read so far. The only ones I haven’t read yet are People We Meet on Vacation and Great Big Beautiful Life. I really enjoyed this one. Unlike the others I read there wasn’t a point in the book where I got bored or put it down for a while. I thought the pacing was good and I liked the love story.
I loved the dynamic between Daphne and Miles. I felt like they were very well written. I felt so bad for Miles and his sister Julia when we learned about how awful their parents were. I liked the fake dating trope and how they both stood up to their exes. Especially when Daphne stood up to Peter when he came to visit her. Overall I really enjoyed this book.

This is my favorite Emily Henry book so far. The characters, the dialogue, the family dynamics—loved all of it! And Miles Nowak also might be favorite male protagonist in the EHU (Emily Henry Universe). May this type of man please find me…

What a cute story that had me giggling throughout. Daphne and Miles are polar opposites that just fit together so well.
This story focuses on how these 2 got together after their failed relationships. Each character has their own emotional hangups or baggage that gets explored and pushed through. The looming countdown is if Daphne will stay in Waning Bay or leave as soon as her big event, the Read-A-Thon, is over and she has a new job lined up.

Enjoyed this light Rom-Com. Even though the ending was just as you predicted, it was a fun journey to get there. Characters had realistic flaws and introspection to notice them in themselves and each other. Main characters were loveable and the side characters were lots of fun, bringing energy to parts of the story that needed it. Liked that it jumped right into the story and didn't waste time in the intro. Appreciated that the chapters counted down/kept track of where we were in the timeline, making it easier to follow along (and reflecting Daphne's affinity for scheduling). Even though the love story moved kind of fast, it seemed believable in their case, with each taking turns acknowledging the unlikeliness of their journey. Would highly recommend for a fun read! HEA
