This book is laugh out loud funny. It’s about family and how they make us who we are. It was amazing!

I had high hopes…. And I am a book lover… but I didn’t love book lovers.
A good hunky love interest sure, but I couldn’t enjoy my protagonist. Nora felt too all consuming to be as “selfless” when it came to her family as it was and I think that was the beginning of my icks with this novel.
I thought Charlie has all the reason in the world to be mad and confused with the world but Nora next to him just felt a little bit much.
The side characters lovely.
The list… predictable and over done.
The town events felt like a bad episode of the Gilmore Girls (and hey I’m a Gilmore girls girl through and through)
Good ideas throughout and really I think there were two books in here that could’ve been split. One: the girl who loves control and needs to learn to lose it. Two: the boy who wants to live up to family expectations but will never be able to.
Will I read another Emily Henry book? Maybe, maybe not.
Something to think about is all… 2.5 stars

Should you read this?
Yes, if… you want a rom-com with actually good banter that will make you realize you’re smiling at the pages as you read
No, if… you have triggers around death in a family and the trauma that goes along with it

Where is the hype? Truly, like, how is this amazing and revolutionary and heartfelt?? It was so so slow at the beginning, the main characters aren't physically together until almost half of the book.
Also, i found it so weird that the main characters would talk about the predictability of romamce books yet this book was just like any other midday romance film you fall asleep to.
I maybe would have given it a higher score if it wasn't discussed as the best romance on the maeket today.
