After DNFing BOOK LOVERS and not loving HAPPY PLACE, I went into this with lower expectations, which made me love this even more. There were some cheesy name choices (Pam/Jan, Peter/Petra) and if I never see the word "chortle" again, it will be too soon, but this is my new favourite Emily Henry book. The characters had so much depth and were so relatable. We didn't need full chapters in Miles's perspective because we got so much of him in other ways, like the way he treats Daphne so well and is so in tune with her. Their chemistry was so good. I also loved Daphne's banter with Ashleigh and Miles. It was perfect. And all the bookish references throughout the book were great too. And the found family aspect was just the cherry on top. I think, at this point, I'll read any adult fiction book Henry writes.
