i enjoyed this. i was scared that finally reading emily henry, it wouldn’t live up to the hype but this was a really lovely love story.

i loved that they were writers and they spent the plot trying to write in each other’s genres, whilst both trying to work through their own grief. despite all of this they grew and changed but became perfect imperfect versions of who they already were.

the spice was pretty good and there was some pretty writing in there too. it was a quick and easy read, with emotions but not heart-wrenching.

it’s always books with the silly little cartoon character covers that end up shattering your heart. what a feat of the genre.

I loved this one so much more this time than the first time I read it a couple years ago. January & Gus <3 both healing and trying to be their best for themselves and each other. It was so sweet and funny and real. Emily Henry books always feel like home

At first it was pretty boring but maybe it had to do with the fact that I wasn't in a mood to read a romance book and I felt the writing was too much like a romance YA so I had to drop it and then I just kind of forgot about it, and when I finally felt in a good enough mood to read a romance I decided to give it a second chance... and I am SO glad I did.
It was so good, it was everything I didn't know I wanted in a romance story and all the characters feel so alive it's just wow 🩷
I owe you an apology Emily Henry. I wasn't really familiar with your game

(Infidelity, cult research, grief)
