Emily Henry has done it again! I loved Beach Read and this one is probably even better. Laugh out loud funny and beautifully tender all at the same time. Read it!

4.25 stars

I’m a sucker for friends-to-lovers slow burns [cue One Day with Anne Hathaway] and this book was no exception. Henry is slowly becoming one of my new favorite authors. Her ability to go from hilarious banter to hard-hitting gems of truth about Humanity ™ back to banter is effortless. I liked the year-by-year flashbacks but wish they weren’t necessarily in the order they were? Also, Poppy talks about the big fight they had two years ago when, in the flashback of that trip, there’s no fight at all, but rather a total LACK of any communication. Very minute things but overall loved it and read it within a few days so — recommend !!!

Will forever dream of having a best friend like Alex. I LOVE friends to lovers so I knew I’d love this. Basically this is my dream life of going on vacation every year with my best friend until we fall in love lol.

I was in the perfect headspace to read this book so I may like it more than Beach Read. Controversial, I know.

Honestly, unsure how I felt about this book. It was a beautiful story overall that was light to read but it wasn’t “calling to me” (haha) in the way other Emily Henry books have! Still a good read!
