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.

I wish I had more eloquent words to describe this book and the rollerblader of emotions it will carry you through. Such a wonderful read that made me giggle and kick my feet, while my heart ached. This is the third Emily Henry book I’ve read and her books never disappoint. I have no doubt I’ll re-read this one!
