 "It's a love story, like everything I write. That's what it comes down to. That's what always matters most to me[...]For whom would you unmake the world?"

This is a romance. This is definitely a Emily Henry story. It just happens that there is a much bigger secondary story taking up space this time. I definitely enjoyed it. I love her writing.

I was a little worried that this was a introduction to a departure from writing romance. But the pieces were all there and she kept telling us through her characters that telling love stories was what she loves to do. So while it is not my favorite Henry. It is still a very good book.
