This book was okay but not my favorite. I found January to be unpleasant and Gus was boring. I enjoy enemies to lovers but the build up was non existent.

Such a good book. My favorite out of Emily Henry’s books. Her writing is like literature, it’s just beautiful the way she describes things. The story was nice and cute, and it had a nice balance of cute and spicy. Loved both the characters and the way they developed.

I thought this was going to be a light, fluffy, first read of the year kind of thing. It wasn't. I laughed, I cried, I stayed up until 2 AM finishing it (what is sleep, anyway?). I couldn't put it down.

This is not a beach read, but that made me love it that much more.

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 was a little too close to home and heavy for me personally as reading is my escape and i wasn’t really expecting it BUT it was amazing otherwise i felt like gus and january were with me while i was reading it and their fears were relatable and made me feel a little less alone

I really enjoyed this book. The first book I read by Emily Henry was not as good as this one and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. I could completely relate to the main character because she is also an author struggling with writers block. I liked the fact that she was dealing with some tough situations and how she could grow through it, while also going outside of her comfort zone with Gus. I thought this was a great and well rounded story, but I did think that the main characters could have avoided fights if it weren’t for miscommunication. I also didn’t like that she was a stereotypical woman in a romance book (e.g. over dramatic and cried all the time).
