I was going through something when I read this that might have affected my feelings towards it. Despite being in a bad place, it did make me laugh out loud which her books always can. But I think it's maybe my least fav Em Hen book?? only because compared to her other books (I've read all but PWMOV) it was more rom-com focused without any other plot going on. There was Daphne befriending her co-worker, but idk something didn't hit quite the same. I just compare everything to Happy Place which is my favorite (a god tier book)...

Emily Henry delivers Emily Henry. Emotional with moments of devastation. Solid romance. Very funny at times.

Also Julia Whelan is the queen of narrators and it was an all around excellent performance.

Another really good Emily Henry book. Not sad like “Happy Place” though, like a lot of her stuff, is a bit melancholic at times. She has a way of making books both about love and longing, but not romantic longing….
