While I enjoyed the book, this is my least favorite of her works so far. Things were just unnecessarily messy and I didn't enjoy the flashbacks as much as the present day sections.

Amazing. I love me a book that helps me understand myself a little more. I cried more than I'd like to admit. Emily Henry really knows how to craft relatable and entertaining stories.

Damn you, Emily Henry, for making me ugly cry so many times while reading this book. Maybe it’s because I was already in my feels for various reasons or because I’m just a hopeless romantic, but I loved it nonetheless!
