(4.75⭐️) by far my favorite Emily Henry Book. Screaming, crying, throwing up. I did not think I would like this book as much as I did but danggggg. It deserves the hype. I quite literally could not put this book down. The banter is unmatched, and the tension and love gives me so many warm fuzzy feelings. This was not only SO ROMANTIC and so funny, but it also had a lot of depth and exploration and personal emotional of Nora’s character and her being stereotyped as a cold person when that’s not who she wants to be. As well as dealing with the residual trauma and grief of her mother’s passing. I loved seeing Nora’s and Charlie’s character arcs throughout the story.  It was all around so well done. I loved the concept of what happens to the high powered career oriented women or men in romance novels who are left by the main character when they visit a small town and fall in love. I thought it was such a good juxtaposition to traditional romcoms. And the intertwining the book themed and the author’s (Dusty) book within was so good, and had me screaming crying and throwing up. Charlie and Nora will make you smile and blush like crazy. Coming from someone who doesn’t like romcoms very much as many are boring and one dimensional/predictable, this book is the exact opposite of that, it’s so good.

Age rating: 15+ (a few brief spicy scenes 1/5🌶️)
