This book was one of those "I need to sit in the car even though the temperature is below zero so I can listen to more of this audio book...I need to know what happens...I want Charlie Lastra to talk to me with those amazing words...I can tell Emily Henry loves books and understands readers!" kinda books. It made my heart happy at the end and is definitely one of my favorites I've read this year so far. I do feel like it helps a little if you have read other romance novels and know the tried and true tropes pretty well, or maybe watched a bunch of Hallmark movies at least. I can maybe see the characters being a little bit tricky to identify with, especially at first, but hang in there-it's worth it! Nora is a literary agent, known for her "shark" like tendencies and Charlie Lastra is a broody book editor who manages to insult Nora on their first meeting. One could say the opposite of a meet-cute even. Somehow they end up in the same small town and chaos ensues. Highly recommend!

p.233-"You are someone who looks for a reason for everything. Or, You are the person who pulls things apart and figures out how they work instead of simply accepting them. You're someone who would rather have the truth than a convenient lie. Or even, You're the person who only have five outfits, but each of them is perfect, carefully chosen. 'I think' I whisper, 'you're one of the least disappointing people I've ever met'."

p.312-"I read once that not everyone thinks in words. I was shocked, imagining these other people who don't use language to make sense of everyone and everything, who don't automatically organize the world into chapters, pages, sentences. ... How a person can know there's something worth saying but have no concept of what exactly that is. I'm not thinking in words."

p.349-353=Awww love!

I love an Emily Henry book. First off the characters have great banter. Very clever and dry humor. Didn’t love how much she clung to her mother, it seemed to be a big part of her personality. I love the detail she included with the characters. The details were so intricate they have to be real. Slightly cliche ending.

War ganz süß eigentlich, aber jetzt nicht umwerfend toll für mich (
kann den hype nachvollziehen tho) 

Weiß nicht ob ich noch mal was von Emily Henry lese, vielleicht lieber in meinen 20-ern

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.
