4.5

I read this book without even reading the back of the book summary because I like Emily Henry’s other books. For that reason, I was actually surprised when
Wyn was her ex-fiancé who showed up at the cottage.
There were moments when I got really annoyed with Wyn and Harriet and thought “just get over yourselves!” There were a couple lines that really hit home, and I love the centering of friendship as family. For a lot of the book, I was seriously wondering if they’d end up back together.
I’m still deciding if I liked the ending because I feel like it was almost too neatly tied up. I guess that’s a romance with a happy ending though!
