I really really liked this one! I heard someone once YouTube once say that Emily Henry is great at writing dialogue that would never happen in real life but somehow works in her stories and that is so true! I won’t be able to get that out of my head now. I loved the banter between the main leads and there were some parts that were genuinely funny! I really enjoyed the premise and I’m kind a sucker for the friends to romance trope. The only reason this wasn’t five stars for me was that the conflict at the last portion of the story was a little goofy. It wasn’t giving like I think it should have and I felt like there could’ve been a different situation used that would’ve been more compelling.
