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.”

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.
