Henry has a knack for for writing failed relationships so realistic that some of her descriptions in this particular book hit almost too close to home for comfort. This, on the other hand, make you long for the romance the main characters manage to find throughout the story, the fantasy of someone who is "just right" for you permeating not just the pages of the book, but your own needs, tethering you to the possibility of this someone being out there - somewhere.

How to turn a typical (almost cheesy) premise into a heartfelt romance about finding yourself.

Emily Henry's done it again. She had this unique ability to write romances that are really about self discovery and working on your problems. Like wow. So emotional. There's always points where

The romance works because they genuinely fit together within the persons life and what they want to do. Miles and Daphne (a small critique is that it took me like 10 years to work out her name), both nurture each others dreams, respect each other. The quote about liking all of someone, not just the good - wow. Love them.
