Another lovely read by Emily Henry. It was hard not to pine along with the characters for each other. They were believable, lovable, and easy to root for as always. I finished this in just over a day.

Not my favorite of her books. Like some of btw others, it feels like there were develop more of the characters and plot points. Enjoyable binge read nonetheless.

I always say it's a cop-out for writers to write about writers (or editors, or publishers, or librarians - anybody bookish). Everyone knows the adage "write what you know," so I think it's only natural for writers to try it out, but it can get a bit monotonous. And, being a writer and language arts buff myself, such narratives don't feed my escapist hunger quite as well as books about chemical engineers or nurses or computer programers.

That being said, it's always a little impressive when an author manages to write writers while avoiding banality and too much self-indulgence. I think Emily Henry achieves as much with this book, at least more so than Book Lovers, which I read first. It's about writers, but it's also about family, grief, secrets, pining, and the ugly parts of love. This novel wasn't as gratifying as other romance novels, not because it's less romantic or the ending is less happy, but because there are parts of it that were sad and, like in life, could not be resolved.
I have a soft spot for "I've always loved you, you just didn't notice" type romances.
