I’m not a big fan of miscommunication tropes although I did find Harriet relatable and realistic. As someone who works in the healthcare field, I thought her biggest concern/struggle could have been rectified in a different way but I’m sympathetic to her plight and how difficult it was to make the decisions she made. Finished the book proud of her and it taught me that maybe I’m a little too harsh on myself. I also wish we got more scenes with her friends because they were each so unique in their own way

This book perfectly encapsulates the essence of old friends, shared memories and a balance between who you are and were. It’s really quite beautiful!!! And I loved it!! I picked this up for light holiday reading and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and how good a book it was! Definitely recommend especially for a beach read 🌻❤️

I never thought I'd see so many things I've been feeling right now on a page. This book touched my heart in all the right places. Would recommend. I expected it to be cheesy, but it felt honest and introspective and unafraid to be honest about the challenges of finding happiness in our lives

Some parts of this book were really really good but I think it mostly fell flat for me. Very said because I loved the other Emily Henry books, but this one just didn't scratch the itch as well as the others have. :'(
