My most bittersweet read of 2023, and maybe my favourite. I shed a tear almost every chapter even when it was a happy one. The portrayal of adult friendships, found family, childhood trauma and long-term love was heartbreaking but healing at the same time. Such a funny, beautiful and sad story. Wyn and Harriet are soul mates in every sense of the word and I adored them - all the characters felt so real & it makes you want to be in the book with them. Just when you think Emily Henry can’t do better; she does.
