Made me laugh out loud several times. Very cute banter. Nothing exciting happens and that's ok. This book made me smile. Lost it's momentum in the last 20% but otherwise a solid beach read 

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Great palate cleanser after my string of literary reads.
Totally hate miscommunication tropes though

This has to be in my top three Emily Henry books, I related to Daphne on such a personal level, her need to keep everything in her life on a schedule and routine and intensely organized was so me it was unsettling. I also loved Miles so much it shocked me, I really went into this book with low expectations for some reason, and everything about it surprised me. I loved their chemistry, it was hilarious, and the plot with Daphne and her dad was once again heart wrenching, as Emily Henry often does. I will definitely do a reread of this book one day.

One of those 'enemies' to lovers books where you know how it will end before you even start reading it.
Bookish librarian and wine guy.
Thoroughly enjoyed and I am madly in love with Miles.

I was grinning like a maniac to myself while reading this. I do feel like the ending could’ve been better. I don’t know if I felt like the ending was rushed or abrupt but I wanted more. I feel like everyone was abandoning her one moment and the next she’s deciding to stay with like no hint of staying. I almost wished she had left to visit her mom to talk about it without informing miles so miles could chase her.
