Loved this book. I completely missed it when it first came out and I'm so glad I read it now. It's such a cute and interesting take on the stereotypical small-town romance. It took me a second to get into it but once I was into it, I didn't want to put it down. I wasn't expecting this book to get me, make me cry and for me to relate to Nora but it did and that made the experience of reading it so much better.

This is my first foray into Emily Henry's work, and I can truly see what the hype is all about. Loved it! Both Nora and Charlie were very well developed, and Henry did a great job of revealing character details gradually but not in a "plot twisty" way so you feel you're getting to know them like you would with a new friend.

It was fun how the characters knew about the romance novel tropes and played into some but subverted others. It kept me on my toes how Nora might find her happy ending, and I really enjoyed the way it turned out.

This rating is coming from someone who could give or take Hallmark movies. Story gets from point A to B, albeit a predictable one.

Do I need to even say anything? It’s an Emily Henry book. Of course it’s going to be a five star read.

Okay but in all seriousness — this book had me by the throat. I read it in three sittings. The relationship between Nora and Libby hurt and resonated with me deeply. As someone who’s always been “too intense” for most people this book was something I didn’t know I needed. Nora was someone I didn’t know I needed to read from and live in despite her skin not being too much different from my own.

I don’t know if I actually cried or if I just felt like I was under rolling waves in the ocean, but I loved this book. What another wonderful romance that is about so much more.
