I ate this up! Totally worth 5 stars

I literally read this in like three days and my heart is just light, warm, and full of love. It contained  funny lines, that made me giggle. I loved the time jumps and the way Emily Henry made their relationship and it’s development so relatable and humane. Where they finally kiss each other again??? Oh my god, got me giggling, screaming and kicking my feet! 

Wyn was such a good and true male main character and Harriet was just so empowering and light and sympathetic. Their whole friend group just gave me the feeling of wanting to be part of them. Also the diversity of the characters, per example lesbians or ppl of color was also amazing to see. There were some really good and heartwarming true quotes that weren’t cheesy or over exaggerated at all. 

All in all I loved Emily Henrys writing style, I loved the storyline and the story coming to life in my head. Made me want to be in their world so bad. I just totally ate this up and felt lighthearted but still morally questioning society and family, this was the perfect mix. Totally recommend, especially when craving a little but still so fulfilling summery holiday second chance romance that makes you smile :)
