I felt this book so deeply. I don't quite know why. But I've missed romance books. And this one made me actually laugh. Out loud. The dialogue just felt so natural and I loved all the tropes. Every time I was annoyed by an action of a character that makes things complicated, they do what I would've done, the normal thing and not something to elongate the story. It so helped that I envisioned Miles as my current crush haha, so every touch and word felt even more intimate. Loved it!

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.

Enjoyed the story for a light read. Too spicy for my taste in parts, with a bit more language than needed, IMO.

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 💕
