This is a typical Rom-com. The author's approach made the book lighthearted and fun.

That’s the key to marriage. You have to keep falling in love with every new version of each other, and it’s the best feeling in the whole world.

This is my second Emily Henry read and it didn’t quite compare to how much I liked Book Lovers. I wasn’t expecting it to be melancholy though and I wasn’t quite vibing with that part of it. It was still great and I had trouble putting it down though.

It’s rare that I rate a book as a 5, but I think this one truly deserves it. This is my 3rd Emily Henry read and I’ve been impressed every single time. This one might be my favorite so far.

I love her characters. They are snarky, funny, and perfectly imperfect. She makes you want to root for January and Gus and leaves you wanting more of them at the end.

This book was steamy, but not gratuitous. It’s emotional in all the best ways and the flaws if the characters is what makes you root for them. They aren't trying to fix one another, but rather so them in a different more positive light.

If you're new to Emily Henry, I think this would be a perfect first read.

I had high hopes for this story after all of the rave reviews on social media. Off the back of Happy Place, this story was a chore to finish. There were portions of interest but those feelings did not last long. I found this story boring. I tried reading and listening to no avail.
