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.
