My first Emily Henry book, one I was quite excited for (totally not because of the screen adaptation whaat) but which sadly failed to meet my expectations.
Although I did not open this book with a grudge every time I started reading, there was never a time that I was actually hooked on the story.
With no aversion whatsoever to the characters, the plot or Henry's writing style, it just didn't seem deliver. I remember exactly two moments in this book that i liked. Moments that genuinly made me think, wow, this is beautifully written. But they were both the last paragraphs of final pages of random chapters, and inbetween it all it was, frankly and unfortunately, just plain boring.
Can't wait for the movie though, and will probably try another one of her books in the future.
