My first Emily Henry book and I loved it. I do believe that she’s the reason I’m doing things ‘for the plot’ that might get me in trouble but oh well.

I won’t be having sex so these characters might for me.

I love the grumpy x sunshine trope but this book is grumpy x grumpy and I’ve determined that it’s 1 million times better.

I really enjoyed how the opening of the book mirrored the opening of the book discussed within this book, Frigid.

Emily Henry deserves all the praise she has received and more.

Only thing is Libby's apology/makeup felt lacking to me, but maybe that's just the eldest sister in me.

Want a book with bookish tropes but with a twist? If this ever got a Hallmark movie adaptation I would for sure watch it… they might just have cut the spicy parts 😂

The banter was like most of this author’s other works, and absolute hit. It was a fun read with detailed and lovable characters. I loved how this ended and really enjoyed finally reading a romance where the woman didn’t give up the career she clearly loved just to move to a small town after two seconds of an insta-love romance.

Truly loved the vibe of this book so much. All the shark comments and the mentions of Bigfoot erotica had me laughing so hard.

I loved it, I loved it, I loved it, I loved it. The characters had SUCH personality, the sister love as a main theme was beautiful, the chemistry between the two love interests made me fall in love (throuple, anyone?), the checklist, the saving a small business, the humor. Honestly. Just yes. So good!

The truth is that I knew from the prologue this was going to be a 5-star read. The way the premise of the cold-hearted city villain partner from the small town romance trope is so perfectly described in Nora and that first meeting with Charlie… that prologue like the entire novel had me kicking my feet and squealing, snickering on my commute, laughing out loud at home. This has banter, emotional depth, a boatload of humour and wonderful love story of familial and romantic love and grief and healing. I can’t share enough superlatives about this book.

Nora and Charlie are the unapologetic antithesis to small town romance protagonists even though most of this book and the development of their relationship happens in a small town. The character development was stellar of both main and supporting characters, the plot was well-paced with minimal/palatable holes, the dialogue was smart and snappy and the sort to make you smile foolishly as you read. I loved how the main characters loved each other and their families in a way that was inconveniently supportive and in a way that truly wanted the best for the other person. The message hear wasn’t necessarily that love heals or that love sacrifices but that love wants the other person to thrive. This was an absolute delight to read- I kept reaching for it and even though it dealt with a few heavy themes around grief, trauma and mental health, these were all handled responsibly and with a momentum that was real but also wasn’t triggering as it kind of replicated the coping mechanisms many people have for dealing with grief and trauma when they have real life responsibilities. I highly recommend checking this out- I’ve read 3 books so far from this author and they have all been stellar!

Really good but I felt the ending could’ve been wrapped up faster and cleaner. Felt like it took a little while to get to the inevitable conclusion. Emily Henry continues to give her characters incredible depth and full backstories. I enjoyed Nora’s growth and introspection while not compromising her character.
