I AM ABSOLUTELY RUINED GOODBYE
despite how emotionally wrecking this book is, i couldn't put it down. TJR's writing shines in this book as you are drawn into emma blair's life story and can't wait to find out what happens next, or how the characters are going to deal with the situation. i felt everything emma was going through despite not going through a single thing she had, and felt genuine anxiety when jesse resurfaced at the worst possible time.
while navigating the whole being married and engaged scenario definitely made this a worthwhile read, what really drove home how much i loved this book was how we saw emma grow over the years. whether that was through her relationship with her family's bookstore, or with her sister, or even with herself and how she started listening to what she really wanted, deep down, it was amazing to see her character adapt and change. the ending made perfect sense, but it also had me wrecked.
TJR... bring me more

It feels like a well written Colleen Hoover where I actually feel for the characters. It's totally different from what TJR is known for and it's of course less extraordinary than Evelyn Hugo or Carrie Soto by the chosen subject and the characters but it's still good! I read it in 24h and I couldn't stop thinking about it and what I would do if I were Emma.

This is a completely perfect romantic beach read. It's complete female wish fulfilment and there is nothing wrong with that! But the writing was painful at times and the two proposals completely unreadable. All that said, I read this book in one sitting on the beach and was completely engrossed and sometimes that's exactly the kind of book you need.
