Emily Henry is magic. I'm not sure how she manages to pack so much tension and clever banter into each and every book she writes but I'm so in love with her books👏 every 👏 single👏 time. In a surprise to no one, I absolutely adored this book. I always tell myself that I'm gonna take my time with each new Emily Henry release but I am physically unable to and devour it in a day (and then I'm sad because it's over, but there's always a reread).
As always, her characters are so well-written and fleshed out. Daphne is so relatable; her thought processes and struggles were so real to me and she might be my favorite Emily Henry MC yet. Daphne's relationship with the library feels especially relatable to me, as someone who spent a lot of time there (one might say *too* much time there) in my youth to be out of my parents' hair. Libraries truly are amazing places and I love the passion and love that Daphne has for them.
Miles might be my favorite Emily Henry boyfriend, but let's be real: "men written by Emily Henry" is my actual type. The things I would do for a Miles POV chapter...
I loved this book so much, on top of the top tier banter + tension + shenanigans we also have parts that made me cry and characters working through issues that left me feeling a little raw (in a good way). I can't wait for pub day so I can reread in the form of Julia Whelan reading to me.
