4.5

She learned to let it out, bit by bit, and that sometimes, it was okay to let a little ugliness into your story. That it would never rob you of all the beauty.

this was a super sweet romance with a lot of laughs and a little angst. january and gus's journey from a (one-sided) rivalry to reacquaintances to friends to lovers felt well-paced and organic. i always love me a total simp mmc and gus definitely fit the bill, even when january was mistaking it for his superiority complex (which was kinda true too lol).

i enjoyed the aspect of them both being writers as well and how fiction and storytelling are used to not only work through our own lives, but to change them. i'm not really sure how i feel about january's dad with the affair, but i think at least as a dad the relationship between him and january was touching.

this wasn't as emotionally devastating as i was expecting it to be, but i felt like it did a good job working a bit through some topics of trauma and grief. there were also a lot of humorous moments, i absolutely loveddd january and gus's dry banter. honestly what made it a 4.5 for me.

i'm excited to read more by emily henry, but this was a solid book to start with!

If you think the story has a sad ending, it’s because it’s not over yet.

I enjoyed the book but found the ending to be a bit abrupt and the climax to not be as developed as it could be. Recommend reading this as your first Emily Henry book if you want them to keep getting better!

This book had me hooked from the very beginning. It was so much more than just a love story. It’s a story of people overcoming hardship and falling in love with not just each other but life all over again. 

For the few things i didn’t like, I thought January was a bit annoying at times but her skepticism was definitely understandable considering what she had been through. 
I also would have liked to have learned more about Gus’s point of view but at the same time i enjoyed learning about him bit by bit through Januarys perspective.
