As a children's librarian in Michigan, if I was going to read any Emily Henry book, it felt like this should be the one. And I'm happy to say I thoroughly enjoyed it! This is very much a character driven romance, but honestly, that's my favorite kind of romance. The characters were great (including the side cast), and I loved all the little Michigan things thrown in throughout.
As a co-worker mentioned, you can tell Henry is a book person because she actually references children's books that kids actually read. Daphne felt authentic as a children's librarian, and we love to see it. Her and Miles have great chemistry, and they were just thoroughly fun to read about.
A bit different from what I normally read, but I could see having a good time with other Emily Henry books! It was a great palate cleanser from a couple of darker reads.
