this is an upgrade from beach read. i’m still not fond of emily henry’s writing style but i’ve gotten the hang of it; she likes to add unnecessary and oddly specific details to a sentence that makes my head hurt sometimes.
i loved this book, nonetheless. i’m quite content with the simplicity of the plot and the layers of the characters, it’s a good combination.
the ending was good and emotional and i’m glad that i did not hurry reading this. this book felt like one of those rare ones where you should cherish every words and let them sink into your head.
the reason why i’m rating four stars is because i felt like the croatia scene was inadequate. i expected that there’s more to it when they haven’t spoken for 2 years but it happened fast and… just because of a little kiss. i felt like it could have been resolved in under two weeks but emily henry delayed it for the angst factor and to create a build up to anticipate. it turned out to be mildly disappointing.
