my first Emily Henry was Happy Place, which I heard was uncharacteristically depressing for her books. but this one is even sadder!
the writing is good, especially the way she describes how January feels when looking at Gus, and I enjoyed the read, but I don’t like the bit of justification and false equivalencies about infidelity, or that this is essentially an “I can fix him (emotionally unavailable man)” success story lol. I can’t rate this bc IDK how to average my likes and dislikes in this case.
