This was my first Emily Henry read and I'm obsessed. I've not read a lot of contemporary romance still but wow this had me obsessively reading like I do with fantasy books. Granted, I borrowed it on Libby which gave me a "skip the queue" copy for only 7 days so I had a time pressure.... but I finished it in not even half the time. I couldn't put it down. The chemistry was palpable at basically every moment, and the denial was real. Also Alex is so sweet.

All of the character had such a depth to them in the writing that I truly did just love them all and they all had a part to play. Also I adored the way the story flicks between the current and every past summer - revealing chunks of their past in ways that feel so important right then and there.
