Emily Henry is a queen. May she only have green lights, always have to cool side of pillow and have sunshine always follow her.

This book was beautiful and heartbreaking and just so tender. I hold that Emily Henry really doesn't write romance, but more women's fiction that holds true in a book that is so centered on friendship. 

I followed a certain series as an kid and felt like I grew up with it, and now as an adult, I feel like I grow up with Emily Henry books because I'm in that phase of my life where I am navigating how friendships have changed as an adult. And I love that for me and anyone else who feels touched by this book.

And final side note: I saw a review where someone called this book cute and that is totally the wrong adjective! Go into this book expecting to feel like someone grabbed your heart and squeezed!
