This book had me hooked from the very beginning. It was so much more than just a love story. It’s a story of people overcoming hardship and falling in love with not just each other but life all over again. 

For the few things i didn’t like, I thought January was a bit annoying at times but her skepticism was definitely understandable considering what she had been through. 
I also would have liked to have learned more about Gus’s point of view but at the same time i enjoyed learning about him bit by bit through Januarys perspective.

(reread)

This book is just incredible. Even though this was a reread for me, I fell in love with the characters all over again. 

Emily Henry has such a talent for writing deep romance that explores all of the human emotions that stay under the surface; the hard, dark, and difficult things that make real relationships so complicatedly beautiful. 

January Andrews will forever be one of my favorite characters (and I’m so glad I read the Layover epilogue this time around!)

 "I lost myself in him, and instead of trying to convince myself that someday everything would be okay, I focused on the fact that, right now, it already was."

I really enjoy EH’s writing. It’s not the typical all sweet rom-com at all. This one is a bit dark and twisty. I read it in one sitting. I enjoyed it and would have given it 3* , but I stumbled upon a 1* review and when I read it I was like “oh yeah… all those critiques are true.”  

There was a lot of repetition about Gus’s eyes, his messy crumpled clothes etc. I wonder if she did a bunch of the descriptions to just add bulk to the book.
