how did emily henry write an entire friends to lover book revolving around the miscommunication trope (2 of my least fav things in romance) and i still found it so thoroughly enjoyable?

this is definitely not my favourite by her and 90% of my kindle notes are just me screaming USE YOUR WORDS but it was a fun read. also poppy is slightly too relatable like

because I’m terrified to run into the people who made me feel like I didn’t matter and for them to decide they were right about me

Every day for the rest of my life, I’m going to have to figure out what to eat, and make it for myself, no matter how bad I feel or tired I am, or how horrible the pounding in my head is. Even if I have a one-hundred-and-two-degree fever, I will have to pull myself up and make a very mediocre meal to go on living.

I feel insufficient as an adult. […] Living, being responsible for myself, seems like an insurmountable challenge lately.

anyways, still think friends to lovers is cursed and would make me feel icky irl but this isn’t real life xo
