I want to give this a 4.25 star because overall I really enjoyed it I just have emetophobia so I didn’t love that though it wasn’t as bad as some authors love to mention it every chapter (looking at you ali hazelwood) this was pretty minor plot point but still removes a 0.25 for me.
Loved Miles as a human, the type of guy you want in your life and to love. Imperfectly perfect if you will. This whole book was that, imperfect people loving each other despite, and it was so real I loved it.
The community vibes from this book were awesome, without people and community we are nothing. I loved seeing Daphne go from alone & no community to having one around her. I feel like a lot of people struggle with being alone and it was relateable because over the last year I’ve had a similar “only 1 friend ➡️ community pipeline”
For some reason as I write this I feel like the depth of the characters were a bit surface level but then I think back and they weren’t so I’m not sure why I’m feeling that currently. Because at the beginning sure a lot was more surface level but thats how you develop a relationship with someone. Also it was a part of Miles’ character due to his past.
Enjoyed the bit more steam in this as opposed to Emily Henry’s other books, loved the dates they went on (with each other, alone, or with friends) I basically just loved the town and showing how to using your town/community to the best of your ability will help fufill your life.
