Very cute. Grittier than I expected, in a good way. Flew through it - fast paced read. Especially loved Pete and Maggie. I was particularly impressed by Emily Henry's ability to describe the physical, emotional feelings of the ups and downs of falling in love, i.e. "a new ache pinballing through my body" or "my throat felt like it had collapsed".
