Love an Emily Henry romcom. Loved the friend group dynamic and the tropes throughout and got so engulfed in the world she created with this book.

This is such a perfect summer read.

Harriet and Wyn have a solid group of friends and they all make it a point to meet up once a year in a Maine cottage owned by one of the girls father. Only this year is very different as Harriet and Wyn have broken up but no one knows. They don’t want to cause their friends any stress so they decide to just suck it up and pretend that they are still together.

The story is told both in the present but also the past which follows Harriet and Wyn’s entire relationship. You don’t know why they actually broke up until almost the end of the book. Sometimes this can be annoying to me but I feel like the author did a great job with keeping you interested in both story timelines.

While this is not my favorite Emily Henry (that’s reserved for Book Lovers) it ranks pretty far near the top.

Spicy scale:
