Knocked off 0.25 stars because Daphne frustrated me at times with how obviously blind she was about the way Miles felt about her from the start, other than that, perfection. Miles has my heartðŸ˜

loveddddd it! It was such a beautiful book about relationships and love platonic, familial, romantic, between a community. It really was about a person finding their place in the world and making a home for themselves. Loneliness was a major theme and as someone who related with some of the struggles the main character faces it made me reflect on my own life more than a romance book typically does.

Emily Henry can write no bad books!!! I just loved this storyline. The characters were smart, loveable, interesting on their own two feet and I loved how this story came together. I felt like I knew the characters

Adding a star for the audiobook narrator. I thought she did a wonderful job. Sometimes romance or romantasy narrators can be so dull when reading the book, so I always appreciate it when a narrator actually performs (side note: I understand narrating and voice acting is difficult and I love, appreciate, and admire the profession. I could never)
Overall this was a pretty good romcom. It wasn’t anything profound, but I had a good time reading it. I would definitely recommend it. Not every read has to be a 5-star slam dunk!

A quick, fun, delightful, engaging romance read. Emily Henry does my favorite kind of romance - the characters have realistic motivations, difficult backgrounds, and emotional insight. The banter is bantering and the connection between characters doesn't feel contrived. I enjoyed the personalities of both MCs and appreciated the wholesome-yet-damaged backgrounds.
My only gripe is that the misunderstanding/alienation phase was so short and easily resolved. Honestly. Our MC worked harder to regain the affection of her upset friend than she did for her paramour.
Overall super fun and I want to rate it highly, but not 5 stars, because it lacked some of the depth of emotion I would prefer. And while it wasn't instalove it sure felt like it at times; we never see the MMC fighting against his own hold ups.
