Beach Read by Emily Henry
3.0

I liked the romance between January and Gus — there was a captivating, silent connection that radiated, that pulled you in. They both carried pain from their lives, but found a way to heal it. To let it fade in the comfort of each other.

What really stood out to me were the letters. The raw way in which they were written helped paint the broken, betrayed relationship between January and her dad in such a beautiful way.

I didn't read Emily's books in order of publication, hence why this book receives a 'lower' rating from me. Don't get me wrong, it's still a wonderful read, but it didn't hit me as hard as Funny Story or Happy Place.
