I’m simultaneously in love with Emily’s writing and angry at her for being able to write so beautifully. 

This is definitely one of her best works, if not her best, you feel completely immersed in the story. It’s impossible not to laugh, cry, and feel butterflies along with the characters. I felt so identified with both Nora and Charlie, not to mention Libby as well, I kind of had the feeling that I was part of the story. Henry decided to write a book where the main character would not normally have a happy ending and give it to them because she saw that they deserved it. She literally wrote a book for all of us who might sometimes feel as the not so popular side character in someone else’s story, her way of saying that we are the main characters of our story and that we will get the happiness we deserve in the end.

Definitely recommend. Definitely will re-read in the future. Definitely in love with Nora and Charlie.
