I really enjoyed this book. The first book I read by Emily Henry was not as good as this one and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. I could completely relate to the main character because she is also an author struggling with writers block. I liked the fact that she was dealing with some tough situations and how she could grow through it, while also going outside of her comfort zone with Gus. I thought this was a great and well rounded story, but I did think that the main characters could have avoided fights if it weren’t for miscommunication. I also didn’t like that she was a stereotypical woman in a romance book (e.g. over dramatic and cried all the time).

It's a good book. It is a cute story. The main character, January, she's a bit dramatic and self-centered. She's an only-child, so I guess she is a really well-written only-child. I just didn't really like her all that much.
I enjoyed the book overall. I think it does read like a "first book." I read Book Lovers and it's got a similar feel to it, but it reads better IMO.
I was invested in the story, I wanted to know what happened to January and Gus. I enjoyed the tid-bits about the books they were writing as well.
Okay ending- or maybe I just don't like happy endings... *winky face*

Ugh, why did I wait so long to read this?! Because in like page two you find out January’s mom has had cancer. I read that last year and immediately closed the book. Spoiler for others that need a tw for that is that she’s ok . So luckily I could focus on all the other heartwrenching parts of this book. Like Gus. Gus! What a character. I loved January too. I’ll probably read this again someday.

The whole sub-plot with her dad just pissed me off. That did not need to be written.
Other than that the story was fine, but I feel like some parts were unnecessary and others felt like they were added at the last minute and not fully fleshed out.
I still would recommend this to people looking for a general fiction book with a romance sub-plot.
