This book reminded me why I love friends to lovers so much. It was so honest and raw.
Poppy and Alex have such a beautiful connection and this book definitely represents right person wrong time. Miscommunication trope is a thing in this book but it worked so well because the reader doesn’t know what actually moments are until it all connects in the past chapters and it was so well done and weaved together perfectly. It was not overused or done in a repetitive way, but more in a sense of being afraid to say anything due to the fear of losing each other
I loved Poppy as a character and Alex has set my expectations higher for the level of care and love in a relationship.
This is definitely one of my top books of the year and I cannot wait to read Emily Henry’s other books!!
