4.07 AVERAGE


Good God, the anger I felt reading this book! I gave it 3⭐️’s because it had a good storyline and was well written, but for christ sakes, please make the main characters’ somewhat likable. I understand having a few redeemable flaws but the main guy character was a douche bag all the way to the end!! I actually wanted them to break up and was let down when they ended up together.

better than people we meet on vacation by a far but they’re both great stories. i just love this one a lot more

Not my fav Emily Henry book, but as always her plots are so creative and engaging! Was excited to see how it all wrapped up and I enjoyed the character development along the way. There was a LOT going on with the storyline but it was good!

Heartfelt and honest. Cute but also sad and at the same time comforting. Quite literally hugged the book when I finished it. If I could reread any book again for the first time it would be this one. I would give it 1000 stars if I could.
