A perfectly sweet modern romance. I feel equally seen by and attached to all of the characters. The right amount of funny, sexy, and real.

For now, the alcoholism/coping with alcohol is just too tough for me as someone who is sober. Maybe I’ll try this again another time

It's got an unputdownable quality as other Emily Henry books possess too. I found it a little twee and very American and sometimes it got on my nerves (it's a little Twilight; big bad damaged wolf boy and innocent little girl next door is the dynamic). But the author actually covers some really dark themes and she manages it really sensitively and with a lot of reality and emotion. And the sex scenes... 🤭 So good! 
Ultimately I did love reading it, just not as much as I enjoyed People We Meet on Vacation.
