Worthwhile read that made me feel all the feels!
Alex reminds me so much of my partner, and Poppy reminds me of my younger self. I really enjoyed their sweet friendship, especially the flashbacks.

I don’t normally read these types of books, but id like to read more by this author. I thought each character was thoroughly developed, and some of their more philosophical musings were really interesting and insightful.

The only reason it’s not a full 5-stars is because I found them both so immature that it was frustrating, especially knowing they were in their 30s. Have neither of them ever had a real conversation in their lives?!

Anyway- still great. I liked it a lot.

“I didn’t know regular life could feel like this, like a vacation you don’t have to go home from.”

A super sweet and fun read! This was a good introduction to Emily Henry for me and I’m excited to read her others when I need something uplifting and cute ♥️


4.5 stars

3.75 actually- fun, a nice getaway. After reading 3 Emily Henry books I realize I hate the way she writes most of her female protagonists but I don’t hate the male characters the same way. Not sure what that says about me. Alex was easy to love and poppy was self destructive and annoying. But I had a good time! Alex reminds me of Jake so that was fun!

Not worth the hype, I didn’t start to enjoy this book until like the last 100 pages :/
