Some people see this book as not the best for the Henry and not intellectually fulfilling or it is sadder than her usual books.

However I see it differently in this book Emily Henry teaches us how to love ourselves first before falling in love with another person. How to be open with our closest people to talk about our feelings and what is happening inside us to avoid waking up oneday finding ourselves very distant from them.

I loved how Harriet in the end was courageous enough to know the difference between what makes her happy and what she was doing due to traumas from her childhood and being brave to cut the circle.
