I ripped through this. It''s a delight with touching moment. It feels really cinematic in a way I want to see adapted. Not as good as Book Lovers but there was no way it could be.

This was a fun dabble into contemporary romance! I kinda liked that there were quite a few unexpected routes this book took with the darker themes. I do believe Emily Henry may be converting me to a romance girly

I didn't expect to cry so much in a feel-good, summer romance, but here we are! 
I appreciate the realistic and complex characters dealing with real life issues. I do wish the blurb for the book had at least mentioned that grief / death of a parent would be a huge motivator for the plot. 

That being said, the romance itself took up the majority of the story and really felt like watching a rom-com. 

Overall a nice read, but definitely check the CWs and make sure you're in the right place to read it! 

I will absolutely be checking out more books by this author.

IMHO - unnecessarily detailed sexual content - I didn't expect to encounter this and found it gratuitous.  Moving father- daughter relationship, female friendship, forgiveness, reflections on world views and creativity.

I felt conflicted that I wanted J and G to end up together, even though January:Naomi as Sonia: January

There was a lot of hype surrounding this book but it far exceeded my high expectations. Emily Henry has raised my standards for the romance genre and how much depth it can contain.

Would recommend the audiobook version read by Julia Whelan
