I just love Emily Henry. 
This book is not a disappointment like every other of her books. It is like a movie. I cried and laughed which I seem to be doing in all my books when I am in love with the characters. Which I was with in January. Gus is just a lost soul and I loved getting to know him and his past. 
I didn't think I would give this book a chance. It was so slow at the beginning but I am so glad I gave it a go. 
Emily Henry is my favorite author which is why I knew if I stuck with the book I would thoroughly enjoy it. 
The letters had me crying so hard at the sheer amount of emotion that you could tell was being written through the page. 
I wish we had more of the mum and Jnauary's conversation because I was longing for these two try and mend their relationship the whole book. 

Emily, you have done it again. Definitely recommend.

I don't think this book is for me. The love didn't feel real, I guess. I think that a twenty nine year old would be more mature than to have her whole life centered around one man. She would have more concrete feelings rather than his eyes being hot, his smile being hot, and his body being hot.
The story went like this, think about Gus (love interest), complain, talk to Gus, "My stomach flip-flopped", complain, repeat.
The characters nor the story will be rememberable to me.
I will say that the story was entertaining. I mean, I read it pretty fast (for me). I wasn't bored most of the time, but some of the word choice had me going, what? The ones that I remember off the top of my head are, she gave a toothy handshake. What does that mean? It also says, we perched on the couch. I cannot stop imagining two people crouched on couch cushions like birds. 
That could be a plus though, because it made me laugh. 
So if any of this sounds like something you'd like to read, go for it.

Gus is the best. That is all.
That and Emily Henry is the queen of witty banter.
