Reading Emily Henry is hit or miss for me, and while, she gave me misses, she still managed two or three stars from me (except People We Meet on Vacation - her only 4!).
However, I liked this one and now have two four-star experiences from her. I enjoyed the believable cast of characters (including the sometimes frustrating main protagonist, Daphne). While the story can feel a bit like you're in a therapeutic session, Henry paints Daphne in a relatable way, despite wanting to tell her to "snap out of it" (if you know, you know).
So, now that Henry gave me another four-starred tale, I guess I'll read the next, which is fair.
