This was my first Emily Henry book and I absolutely adored the entire reading experience!

Although this was a slow burn romance, the plot carrying the story forward was intriguing yet heartbreaking. Even when I was crying I had such a fun time reading and can't wait to pick up another one of her books!

I really enjoyed this book! It was well written, covered some tough topics, and was very sweet, with Emily Henry’s usual wit and emotion flowing throughout. I recommend!

I enjoyed the book until the ending. I felt like the ending was kind of a bummer.

I also just couldn’t get past the dad cheating on his dying wife. I also really felt like the characters were so broken and messed up that they weren’t going to last for very long past getting together.
