So this book was not bad, but for me it was SUCH a disappointment. To be fair, Happy Place is one of my favorite books of all time, so I guess I should have tempered my expectations a little bit but this fell so flat for me. I feel like the characters, especially Miles, lacked the same level or depth that I expect after reading Happy Place. I also absolutely hated the third act break up premise and found it to be so unnecessarily stupid. Major miscommunication/lack of communication trope, but done terribly and I just didn't like it. 

Again, it wasn't a bad book. I did like the characters overall and the premise itself was fun and cute.

My favorite Emily Henry book. Everything about her books reads so close to real life, yet as a reader I still felt like I was in another world. This is perfect for people who need reality but a mental escape regardless. Miles and Daphne are everything, and I feel so at peace after seeing their growth.

Foi uma ótima leitura, com humor, o mundo de livros e literatura, trabalhando questões que atingem não somente o romance clichê, mas fala sobre independência.
O casal me prendeu desde o começo, o que fez com que a leitura fosse rápida, de devorar sem nem ver passar. Acho que lidou com situações bem reais, que torna a leitura mais próxima de nós, as relações sendo construídas pouco a pouco, eu gostei bastante. Numa escala de Loucos Por Livros até De Férias Com Você, eu digo que Daphne e Nora iriam arrasar juntas.

This is an utterly unbelievable story about two people whose partners hook up with each other so they try to fake do the same to make them jealous but end up spending so much time together that the question isn't whether they will get together but when.

I also didn't like all the baggage they brought with them - I don't want an entire book to act as therapy for two characters who have family issues and/or suddenly discover they have put their own life on hold for someone else.

All in all, not Emily Henry's best book. I've finished this three days ago and I have already forgotten most of the plot. What's left is an overwhelming sense of "please both go find a good therapist!"
