I loved this book so much. It was such an easy, light read for me and the cast was so loveable. Ari reminded me a lot of myself, between the depression and the loving the weather, I saw a lot of myself in her.
I loved how much representation there was spread throughout this book. The main character's depression rep, the love interest's plus size rep, the Jewish rep, the MC's brother's gay rep, multiple characters from multiple cultural backgrounds, there was so much rep and it's very hard to find all of that in one book. I really enjoyed learning more about the Jewish culture specifically, it was really fascinating to me to read about!
Overall, I think if you like Emily Henry or just rom-coms in general, this is a book for you!
The only reason this is lower than 4 stars for me is because there was a third act breakup. I will never understand the point of those, they always make me angry and sad. So that's why this is so low. Oh, and the proposal at someone else's wedding, that made me cringe fr.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Mental illness
Moderate: Cursing, Sexual content, and Alcohol
Minor: Misogyny, Medical content, and Injury/Injury detail
Another warning I would give on the "Moderate" section is parental absence. The MC's does talk multiple times about her father leaving her and her brother and being absent in their lives. So just a little heads-up on that!
