I loved this book! I appreciated how Emily Henry provided depth to the heartbreaking and fraught father-daughter relationship on top of the fluffy, romantic main plot. The characters and storyline were very well-developed yet it was still a page-turner. Definitely the best contemporary romance I've picked up in a while!

This book had a lot more going on than the blurb suggests. It's largely about 2 people tackling grief and opening themselves up to love again. Well written with compelling, flawed characters and a lot of emotional payoff. Recommend!

Fun and fairly light which I definitely needed after Pretty Girls. Weird that both involve a man with a secret second life though 🤔
