the yearly emily henry read is back!!

the romance was really cute and lovely, but somehow the story didn’t catch me like her other books.
which is weird because those are maybe my favourite emily henry characters so far?

but i kind of had the feeling that not much was happening? and idk, it was a romance novel and the first one of those that i picked out this year simply for the romance part. but like apart from that, i had the feeling that not much was happening?

but to be totally fair, it was a character-driven book and the characters were extremely well-built and had so many facets abd issues and just overall felt very real. 
and ALSO, daphne is a children’s librarian? that’s so cool?

Finished in one day. Was enjoying it so much I started the following note on my phone about halfway through -

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THIS EMILY HENRY NOVEL:
- the quick reference to Cocaine Bear LOL
- Idk if it’s just me but I feel like miss emily really turned up the SPICY in this one
- Fucked up family dynamics
- The entirety of the wedding dress scene
- So much Northern Michigan magic, if this doesn’t bring Emily Henry fans to TC in droves I don’t know what will
