I had high hopes for this story after all of the rave reviews on social media. Off the back of Happy Place, this story was a chore to finish. There were portions of interest but those feelings did not last long. I found this story boring. I tried reading and listening to no avail.

the most unlikable main characters possible. the guy is kind of interesting at least, but there are no redeeming qualities for the girl.

extra .25 because, despite being predictable, chapter 25 was beautiful

A romance novel with a subplot about a deadly cult in the Michigan woods and I thought it was only okay??

I explicitly saved this book for a holiday at the beach because I'm obsessed with reading the right book in the right location, but it seems like the timing wasn't right anyway. I wish this would have been more about the writing challenge and banter and rivalry and less drama and less January starting to cry as soon as Gus so much as mentions another woman. Of course it's still Emily Henry so it was enjoyable all in all.
