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!

Enjoyed this light Rom-Com. Even though the ending was just as you predicted, it was a fun journey to get there. Characters had realistic flaws and introspection to notice them in themselves and each other. Main characters were loveable and the side characters were lots of fun, bringing energy to parts of the story that needed it. Liked that it jumped right into the story and didn't waste time in the intro. Appreciated that the chapters counted down/kept track of where we were in the timeline, making it easier to follow along (and reflecting Daphne's affinity for scheduling). Even though the love story moved kind of fast, it seemed believable in their case, with each taking turns acknowledging the unlikeliness of their journey. Would highly recommend for a fun read!

I have heard so much hype about this book, and was sure it could not live up to it. But this book was so amazing. It was written so well that it drew me into each of Daphne’s emotions, I was frustrated, I laughed, I yelled and cried and swooned. It was perfect.

This book made me giddy again. Reading this book pushed me back to being a tween in my room listening to my favorite boy band and doodling my crush's name on my homework. I loved being able to read a book that made me feel like I was living the story with the characters. I definitely recommend this read to anyone who is looking for a love story in the most obvious sense of the word.

i really loved this! emily henry can do no wrong! the only reasons this wasn't 5 stars are because of the miscommunication between miles and daphne and the way daphne treated and thought of miles made me upset with her because i thought miles was so sweet and thoughtful!

a sweet story, and let’s face it, i’m a sucker for fake dating! miles and daphne are such a cute couple. I found the arc with daphne’s dad a bit disappointing and the third act conflict to be a little…. underbaked. seemed out of character and kind of random for both of them.  I see the explanation at the end trying to tie it up with a bow, but it didn’t quite do it for me. overall, a cute story tho. I love henry’s characters!
