nothing remarkable i’d say… it was an okay romance book

Not what I expected but it was good

Read this while sick in bed which might explain the absolute fever dream I was reading.

This was good! Honestly nothing too special or memorable for me. I'm kind of mixed when it comes to Emily Henry books—I loved Book Lovers when I first read it, but recently tried to reread and just couldn't. I absolutely LOVED Funny Story, but didn't care much for Happy Place or People We Meet On Vacation.

I did really love January and Gus. I'm glad I read this.

emily henry you make me sick.
funny lighthearted fast-paced

I was halfway through the book when I realized January and August are named after seasons.

I absolutely loved this, it may also be because the last book I read by Emily Henry I did not enjoy as much (Happy Place). However, this was so good that my heart would pinch every time these two would yearn after each other. Something I have been noticing is that Emily Henry usually writes her subplot around some kind of parent conflict and I think it helps appeal to all kinds of audience since I can safely say we all have had some kind of parent conflict in our lifetime.

I can also safely say that like January my diet consist of Ramen and Pop Tarts as well. No shame my friend.
