Beach read:

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters

My thoughts:
Emily Henry does it again! I finished her latest book and it's been swirling in my mind ever since. This wasn't just a good read, it was a 5-star experience (and I rarely give out those!).

Imagine a fast-paced enemies-to-lovers story, but with laugh-out-loud humor, heartwarming moments, and tears that sneak up on you. That's what this book delivered. It had me giggling one minute and reaching for tissues the next. It's the perfect summer read, and I can already see myself revisiting it when the warm Florida sun hits.

If you're looking for a book that will stay with you long after you turn the last page, look no further! This is one I highly recommend, and I can't wait to dive into Emily Henry's next book.

Emily, I’m officially a fan!

Creo que el problema fue que le tenía demasiada fe.
Aunque la historia sea rápida, divertida y simple, no me gustan los desenlaces que Emily Henry le dio a los eventos importantes de la historia, como

el romance de ellos dos, las excusas que él pone por las cosas que hacen son TERRIBLES, no le hubiese perdonado UNA. Cuando Shadi aparece no le dan ni 10 renglones de charla de amigas; pero lo que MÁS ME MOLESTA es que cada vez January pensaba en el padre y se ponía triste, o estaba mal por algo ELLOS SOLO QUERÍAN COGER. DALE, UN POCO DE COMPASIÓN.

. Fuera de eso, el libro es lindo, bueno, no una masterpiece, pero releible. El final, cuando

January lee las cartas del padre

, me hizo llorar, muy linda secuencia.
El punto que siempre me jode en estas cosas es la pelotudez esta de que porque está bueno y es gracioso se le perdonan cosas que NO VAN, obvio que lo queremos por lo que dice, pero la bara no existe, y con ciertas situaciones la llevan directamente al séptimo círculo del infierno para que se quede de por vida.
De todas formas, me gustan los personajes, se sienten muy humanos y el desarrollo de la historia está bueno :)

I read this book at the beach with low expectations, and it kind of met those expectations. I applauded the book for tackling serious and complicated subject matter and appreciated the central coming of age plot but the romance left much to be desired. I think most of my issues with the novel lie in cringy descriptions of character and canned “desire” lines peppered throughout to remind us that the Mc finds Augustus soo attractive. I had trouble buying into the damaged ml trope I was being fed. I also felt like more could have been done with the dads storyline and it felt a bit dropped by the end.
