Emily Henry is a mastermind.
This book was one of the best things I have EVER read. Every aspect of the story was amazing.
Her writing style is probably my favourite out of all the ones I have seen. The way she describes emotions and different situations makes the characters feel so realistic. There were so many lines in this book that I wanted to just rip out and stick on my wall.
Harriet and Wyn. Their banter, their dynamic, the CRAZY chemistry between them throughout the novel and everything about them was just wonderful to read about. Both of them had realistic issues whilst dealing with grief and mid-life criseses. They were made for this story. It felt like the pieces of a puzzle falling perfectly into place. Magic.
The original two timelines eventually bleeding into each other made it so much more interesting to read and it definitely played a huge role in keeping me invested in the book.
The things that she wrote about relationships in this completely shifted my aspects in the best way possible. It made me appreciate what I already have much more than I had before.
I love this masterpiece with all my heart and I would recommend it to anyone.

Want is a kind if thief. It's a door in your heart, and once you know it's there, you'll spend your life longing for whatever's behind it.

You can see where this story is going from the get-go, and the there is a fairly big dose of miscommunication at the heart of the conflict. But this is such a fun, summery rom-com. Genuinely made me laugh, a lot. And the characters felt much more believable than those I've read in other Emily Henry books. I could relate to Harriet's difficulty voicing herself, and believe that this relationship had fell apart because of misguided attempts to protect one another, which made the resolution feel like satisfying growth. I had a really good time with this book.

This was a great read. It was fun, and relatable at a lot of parts. I liked the ending. The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars was because it was good but not something I would read again. I wasn’t over the moon about it, but it was good. Would recommend.

Emily Henry has my whole heart. The way she writes women, female friendship, and honestly just the experiences of her characters makes me feel so seen.
I love reading about unhinged women as much as anyone, but there's something about a woman who is trying SO HARD to be hinged and learning that it doesn't serve her the way she thought it would. I love Harriet so much.

This is my first Emily Henry read, and I can see why she is such a popular author. I love her effortlessly poetic writing style and spin on storytelling. Really enjoyed this! Perfect feel-good read for heading into Spring/Summertime.

I think Emily Henry was in my house, studying me and picking apart my brain when coming up with Harriet's character.
As the younger sister who craves parental acceptance and as an extrovert who is forced to be an introvert, this book hit so close to home. So many things that Harriet felt about her home life are things that I struggle with too. The fear of losing your friends so you just push them away to get it over with is also so close to home.
I can't thank EmHen enough for writing this and for me being able to read it during a chapter of my life where I needed it most.
