Beach Read
by Emily Henry
"You're so perfectly my favorite person."
One thing I will give to romance books is that they are surprisingly binge-able reads. This book honestly gave me 4 star vibes for the first 150 pages, and then it went a bit downhill (there were bits I thought were cringe-y, some parts were just outright weird, the writing style sometimes reminded me of The Hating Game which I did NOT enjoy, and there was miscommunication that I would have rather avoided) until the last 60 pages. The relationship between January & Gus was really sweet overall though, and their banter made me chuckle. I think Emily Henry somehow captured what it's like to fall in love, to meet someone that becomes your favorite person. I also liked how this book touched on grief and forgiving someone even after they are gone, and understanding why people do the things that they do.
