I can’t explain it, but there have been so many moments in Emily Henry’s books where I’ve thought “yes! I’ve felt that way and never knew how to express it.” 

One of my favorite quotes from this book

“How could I trust my own feelings? People were complicated. They weren’t math problems. They were collections of feelings, and decisions, and dumb luck. The world was complicated too - not a beautifully hazy French film, but a disastrous, horrible mess bespeckled with brilliance and love and meaning.”
