What happens when you end up living next door to your college rival/crush in a house your dad bought with his mistress? Apparently romance if you are January! I really loved this one, I thought January and Gus were really enjoyable characters to get to know, and I absolutely adore a grump who has also been pining for her for *AGES* :chefskiss: 
A really nice quick read, it had the perfect balance of substantive plot and emotional trauma for the characters to work through, while also being a sweet story of these two hurt people coming together and finding each other through all of the past traumas they have and becoming happier (for now) people because of their relationship.

I really enjoyed how the two characters opened up to each other about their pasts, which brought them closer. 

I did like the idea of the competitiveness of writing the book between them. 

I always have enjoyed Emily Henry’s writing style and I think I will buy her other books that I haven’t read yet. 

You could feel the emotion she has put into this book from the characters which I felt personally too.
