Not my favorite Emily Henry book. Don’t know if I was just not in the mood for a contemporary romance, or if I just didn’t connect with characters but it felt like a bit of a slog to me. There were parts that I really enjoyed though, both in the romance and in the main characters exploration of her relationship with her dad and the secrets he kept.
