emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

Die Kennenlern-Geschichte von Daphne und Miles hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Zwei Menschen mit Ecken und Kanten von denen keiner perfekt ist. Die verworrene Geschichte beginnt damit, dass sich Daphnes Verlobter am Abend des Junggesellenabschieds von ihr trennt, um mit seiner Kindergarten Freundin Petra durchzubrennen. Da Daphne nicht weiß wohin, kommt sie notgedrungen in der Wohnung von Petras Ex Miles unter, der auch unter der plötzlichen Trennung zu leiden hat.

Endlich mal eine Grumpy-Sunshine Romanze bei der die Frau, die etwas pessimistische und der Mann der Sonnenschein ist.

Auch als Hörbuch sehr zu empfehlen 👌🏻

EmHen has done it again! She creates these rom com plots and the twist is that they are incredibly real and vulnerable portrayals of moving forward and taking control of your life. Both characters had valid thoughts and feelings regarding their life experiences and I really enjoyed how everything played out. I laughed, I cried, good stuff

This was the exact palate cleanser I needed. I never thought of myself as a romance reader but damn is Emily Henry possibly changing that for me. The depth she builds for her characters in incredible. It’s not just the romance. It’s the heartbreak, friendships, trauma, family, inner demons, love and hate. This book was so well built and worth the several months wait on my Libby holds.

I rarely give a romance five stars, but this one found a way to take the past hurts of both primary characters and let me share in their personal growth in a way that I wanted to root for them all the way to the end. The premise for the book was ridiculous to me, but it probably happens more often than I think it does. I also liked that the book gave Daphne friends, real friends, who helped her grow up and that she could do the same for them. I liked this book, because it let me be a part of a whole story, rather than just the tug and push between the two protagonists. Loved her relationship with her mom too and the way she worked things out with her dad (good girl!). I'd like to think Daphne and Miles make each other better people and that theirs will be a happily ever after.

Sweet romance. Not my favorite of Emily Henry’s books, but a very enjoyable read. Loved the characters, as always. Audiobook was expertly narrated, as usual.
