Didn’t love how it started. Hate seeing self sabotage. Good smut though and was happy by the end.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the book drew from When Harry Met Sally (one of the best rom coms of all time). At times the book made me  anxious, or amused, or a little sad. I did feel like the end was somehow too rushed after the slowness of the first portion. So I guess my complaint is that it could’ve been longer. Still, I appreciate Emily Henry’s style of writing that uses romance to also broach other important aspects of life.

I have some seriously mixed feelings here. On one hand, I had a good time reading this and I do think Poppy and Alex are wonderful together. On the other, I can’t help but think about how downright irritating they would both be if they were real and I think their situation would be borderline toxic. They are a special kind of codependent that is somehow both sweet and infuriating at the same time, which gives me pause, but then Emily Henry redeems both of them in my eyes by putting them both in therapy! That’s my number one comment about a lot of book couples- get your ass to therapy- and this time they both did the damn thing! 

I also might be in the minority for this but I think the book was well paced and I liked jumping between the current time and the progressive timeline of their relationship over many, many vacations. The passing of years showcased how much they meant to each other and, for me, how it became scarier to admit their feelings over time because they each had so much to lose if it went wrong.
