I have previously loved all of Emily Henry's adult romance releases and still somehow this easily took the throne of my favourite Emily Henry novel. I can't explain it. I think my heart actually grew a couple of sizes while reading this book. It is just everything to me.
I think a BIG reason why I loved this book so much as I did is Daphne. I just really connected to her character, and related to her on some fronts as well. I thought her personal character journey throughout this book was so interesting, and unlike anything I have seen in romance books before. I thought it was incredibly well executed as well.
I also just adored her relationship with Miles though. I just thought they worked togehter perfectly. I adore the way their relationship develops, and how they get to know each other more and more throughout the novel. Their emotional connection was just absolutely everything. I also think Emily Henry did a great job balacing them getting over their exes, and healing from their heartbreaks, with them falling in love with each other. It's something that isn't easy to do, something I have seen many books try and fail to do, and it's just so effortlessly done in this one.
Miles' backstory was also really interesting, and I loved seeing him develop throughout the novel as well. I also adored the cast of side characters. They were so much fun, and really blew a breath of fresh air into this novel. I'm especially talking about Julia and Ashleigh with this, but truly every single side character was incredible. Ugh, I just fucking loved this book. Excuse me, while I go cry in a corner thinking about it.
