This is my new favorite Emily Henry book.
1 POV, some spice, lots of pining. Roommates of circumstance turned extremely poignant "I don't deserve x" meets "I am deathly afraid of y" pairing.
Which can sound bleak but is defined by kind, sweet acts that leave you in love with the characters.
In addition to killer emotional intimacy that will make you identify with one or both main characters, there's also a strong "libraries kick ass" message.
Narrator: Julia Whelan creates or amplifies a few gut punch and heartflutter moments that elevate Henry's text beautifully.
