I really enjoyed reading about this relationship and seeing it grow throughout the book. It was interesting to learn about both characters back stories and why they are at the cabins together. It felt like they were both dealing with different types of grief and helping each other though that as well as their writing which you can see throughout the book.

do I think it's a literary masterpiece? no. but I do think it's an extremely likeable contemporary romance. Emily Henry is master of all things, and I am here for it. the emotional rollercoaster from the silly banter to the crippling shame of the Third Act Misunderstanding™️ had me pulling out the Kindle every free chance.
Sexy, Evil Gus is exactly the kind of love interest I root for - complicated, a little broken, but sweet, well meaning, and unproblematic. He has no jealous rages, no toddler meltdowns, no commitment issues. Maybe a bit of a grump, but a very solid dude.
some readers will probably be put off by the strong themes of grieving a recently deceased parent and dealing with the paradigm shift of the parent's previously unknown second life. I'm here to cry so it worked for me :)
