I really enjoyed this book. The first book I read by Emily Henry was not as good as this one and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. I could completely relate to the main character because she is also an author struggling with writers block. I liked the fact that she was dealing with some tough situations and how she could grow through it, while also going outside of her comfort zone with Gus. I thought this was a great and well rounded story, but I did think that the main characters could have avoided fights if it weren’t for miscommunication. I also didn’t like that she was a stereotypical woman in a romance book (e.g. over dramatic and cried all the time).
