This is my favorite Emily Henry book so far! I really loved the whole cast of characters. I enjoyed this book so much, I stayed up until 2 AM to finish it.
A couple of the reveals, I was able to guess early on. So for me, the book was really about the way that Harriet and Wyn interfaced and what happened in their past to lead to their now.
Miscommunication tropes are something that bugs me. While there are moments you'd wish the character would just talk to each other, they do a good job of addressing several things with each other quickly. Each bit they learn from the other helps to shape their past as, not only how they saw it, but also builds nicely to the big conversation.
