I picked up this book because Emily Henry told me to on Tik Tok. That is all the knowledge I had going in.  I wish I knew I was in for a weeper but still the queen of romance was not wrong.  This was a read in one day read . I'm always going to cringe at Americans writing about Britain (I'm sorry it cannot be helped) and there are elements of it at the start which for me are eye-roll corny. That being said I connected with the characters chemistry enough to pull through it and glad I did. Would deffo recommend if you like books that feel like movies as you read them.
