this book is just very mid. i didn’t really care too much about the actual romance because they barely had any chemistry. essentially, they were more interesting as individuals than as a couple. i hoped they’d have a bit more of that rivals to lovers vibe but it cut the ‘rivals’ part pretty short. i liked some of their banter but it often turned too cringy for my taste. i also liked that it explored some darker themes which i didn’t expect from this book. overall it was cute but for a romance book the romance was simply a bit too lackluster.

No conecté con la historia y no conecté con los personajes.
Nada que ver pero me parece muy ridículo que se llamen January y Augustus😭
Lo que luché para terminarlo es impresionante. No more Emily Henry for now😬

The prose was good, and the story was addictive, especially in the beginning. The middle dragged a bit, and because of that the ending felt rushed.

enjoyed this one, but not as much as funny story! the premise was cute but the vibes were kinda off here and there and idk why. for a book called “beach read” that takes place in the summer, it’s often cold and had sadder backstories & events than funny story
im just being picky lol but it was fun and a quick read
dear romance writers: please stop naming the male love interests Gus

This was a slow start for me, but I liked the ending. I hated that her dad cheated on her mom. And her mom’s refusal to even discuss it was tough. I was also a bit thrown off by the cult and the way he blew hot and cold so much, but in the end it made sense and came together. Not my favorite of her books - I like Happy Place better. But I do like her character development.
