I am an Emily Henry lover first and a reader second ☝️
no but fr following Nora and Libby to Sunshine Falls to sort out their own sibling relationship (amongst other things), coincidentally finding Nora's editorial rival

Mr. Big Dick himself

Charlie, and seeing the romance be the subplot of the whole story for a book this genre was so refreshing that I feel like it hit better the second time.
I do however wish the last chapter (not epilogue) was expanded on with one more inbetween chapter just for the sake of the pacing.

Emily’s books always get me hooked so quickly! Her banter between characters was phenomenal as always. I loved that the male love interest in this book was not a super toxic person, as is common in a lot of books. The book moved at a great pace for the first 300 ish pages, but sped up pretty quickly in the last 75-100 pages. It would’ve been nice to have some more plot development in these last pages so that it didn’t feel so rushed. But overall I still absolutely recommend for a nice light read :)

This feels like a dream. It absolutely took me to heaven and threw back to earth, but in a good way. Nora: the main character and Libby: her sister, has the most amazing sibling relationships ever. The way they care for each other, worry about each other, put each other before everything is absolutely marvelous.
Nora has this big sister aura, that you feel instantly protected. I would like to have a sister like Nora. Libby on the other hand, doesn't seem to show it that much, but also deeply care for her sister. The story runs through with the suspicion of what happens and why would Libby suddenly wants to spend a vacation with her sister.
And Charlie....
He's just.... Damn. I just don't have any words to describe him. He's the guy who has correct intuition, best words at perfect timing and doesn't even know he's good. Typical small-town  grumpy boy.
The fact that they are book lovers, and the way they describe their love for reading and books, gives me euphoria. As a reader myself, knowing someone's feelings towards books is such a beautiful thing. It has nice flowing, easy to understand language and good writing.

Didn’t expect to like this book so much given its “Hallmark Christmas movie” type plot, but I loved the characters, their backstories, the familial and romantic love, and the ending
