Emily Henry does it again. At the closing paragraph I literally gasped aloud, "that was so good."

I love how every supporting character is always fully formed and contributes to the plot/mc growth.  The small town hominess was like its own character and that alone was inspiring. I somehow always relate to every one of her books, but this one really resonated and healed a part of me right along with Daphne.

If I were to have any complaints (are we playing Whiny Babies?) it would simply be to lament that the book is entirely in Daphne's POV. I'm a sucker for a dual or multi-POV.

This is Emily Henry at her best. With witty dialogue and loveable characters, she puts a charming, chaotic spin on the fake dating trope and tells a wonderful story of self-reflection and finding home. As always her characters feel real, the emotions are raw, and the descriptions are vivid enough to make you feel like you're really there, alongside Daphne.
