This was cute and fun to read, though there were points where the two main characters' flip-flopping became somewhat annoying. I get situational drama and miscommunication tropes, but they can so easily become frustrating when there's no development or progress for the majority of a book. It was definitely a slow burn for this one, but at times, it felt glacial. Also, WHERE WAS THE BEACH? IT'S CALLED "BEACH READ". Even the cover illustration clearly displays people ON A BEACH. I get marketing gimmicks, but holy shit, this is a new low.

This book is kinda cheesy but also deeply emotional. Highly recommend if you're looking for a more emotional rom com, great character development.

The twist with January and Augustus writing in the others genre I found to be super cool. I liked how they challenged one another. I do wish we got to see more about Augustus’s life and not just his breakups. I did like the background and depth with January but I wish I got to see her and her mom or maybe the other women talk about her fathers passing.
