I've been in a reading slump for the last few months and I am very glad this the book that broke me out out of it.

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.

This is a typical Rom-com. The author's approach made the book lighthearted and fun.

It’s rare that I rate a book as a 5, but I think this one truly deserves it. This is my 3rd Emily Henry read and I’ve been impressed every single time. This one might be my favorite so far.

I love her characters. They are snarky, funny, and perfectly imperfect. She makes you want to root for January and Gus and leaves you wanting more of them at the end.

This book was steamy, but not gratuitous. It’s emotional in all the best ways and the flaws if the characters is what makes you root for them. They aren't trying to fix one another, but rather so them in a different more positive light.

If you're new to Emily Henry, I think this would be a perfect first read.
