My unbiased review:
This is a basic friends to lovers romance. It progresses through vacations that poppy and Alex have gone on and we learn a lot about them along the way. If you enjoy friends to lovers then you will greatly enjoy this.
My biased review:
I couldn’t connect to this book. I couldn’t connect to poppy and Alex and because the whole plot is focused on their vacations together I found myself bored and trying to read as fast as possible just to be finished. I also thought the scenes of them in an actual relationship were incredibly short and I was super confused as to why they went through a second act breakup when they had barely been together. I also didn’t love the conclusion to their relationship issues.
HOWEVER going into reading this I knew it wouldn’t be for me and I was correct. I can definitely see this book being someone else’s cup of tea it is however not mine. I love some of Emily Henry’s other books though… just not this one
