Alex and Poppy are polar opposites but best friends who take an annual Summer Trip together…until one summer goes wrong and they stop speaking for two years.
Yes, it’s true, I’m finally back in my Emily Henry era and this time I refuse to stop until I’ve finished her entire backlist. Fortunately, that’s no hardship, because I’m convinced EmHen is one of the genuinely great writers of our time. Her prose is so beautiful and her stories are so meaningful, and I absolutely devoured this book.
I do wish these doofuses had just TALKED TO EACH OTHER more and sooner, but overall this was so good, their chemistry was so engaging, and there were also so many laugh out loud funny moments that I had a great time. Absolutely highly recommend!
