5.0

I absolutely loved this book - the characters, the writing, the relationships, the depth. I am now officially an Emily Henry stan.

Firstly, these characters felt so real. I felt their feelings and was so connected with them. They were complicated and messy, and their flaws were real. Even when I wasn't reading the book, I was thinking about January and Gus. And not only were the characters great individually, they worked really well together and I could really believe in their relationship.

I also really loved the writing style, it was simple yet poetic at times but never tried too hard to be too poetic or flourished. 

The conflict was believable but I appreciated that there were multiple forms of conflict and not one big miscommunication or misunderstanding, and these were resolved relatively quickly and not drawn out.

Overall, an excellent read that I would be happy to reread in the future and I am absolutely excited to read more of Emily Henry's work.
