I like my spice on the mild side with not going farther than a make out session on the page. After the first “slightly heavier spice” encounter in this one, I lost my book appetite. The writing was good though and the characters sweet. I was invested in the story up to that point

Children's librarian Daphne finds herself needing a place to live after her fiancé Peter leaves her right before the wedding, for his lifelong best friend Petra, who he always told Daphne not to worry about Conveniently, ironically, Petra's ex-boyfriend Miles, a vintner, is now in need of a roommate, so Daphne moves in. The two become friends, and are clearly interested in more, as Daphne learns to build community in a small town where she previously had no connections besides Peter's friends.
Another sweet story by Emily Henry. I liked the plot setup for this one, and the cast of supporting characters was really charming. The town felt like Schitt's Creek in the best way. Daphne grows a lot throughout the story, and Miles is a flawed by ultimately good person.
My one gripe: The reason for them trying not to get together, the whole foundation for the story's drama, felt half baked, like Henry avoided them dating just for the sake of having something to fill an entire book.

Yeah we’re giving this book 5 stars. I was a little skeptical about the plot of the book but once I started reading there was no stopping. Emily just really does it for me with these books, she’s feeding my soul honestly. Besides the main plot, I really enjoyed reading the complicated reality of life through interpersonal relationships with her friends and family, specifically her father (I can relate). Great read!

This book was a perfect mix of romance, self-reflection, friendship and family dynamics. I really love the way Emily Henry takes the romance genre and makes it more profound, more complex - all the while being really funny, too. Only reason why this didn't get 5 stars is because the smut scenes gave me whiplash, and I couldn't fully get into them because I was scared a family member was going to interrupt them halfway through. But other than that, this is great.
I'm glad I didn't give up on Henry after disliking People We Meet On Vacation so much 💕
