This might be my new favorite Emily Henry book! I adored Daphne and her growth just as much as I enjoyed getting to know about Miles and the whole community she meets💛

Favorite things; Sundays, Daphne and Miles, Ashleigh, and character breakthroughs

Favorite things: Cora’s thoughts, the coworkers, Auntie Z, the mood throughout

The only reason this isn’t getting 5 stars from me is because it took me a bit too long to truly get into the book, but around page 110 I was hooked.

This is my second Kylie Lee Baker book and she is going to have to become one of my auto buy authors. She’s so talented!!

Favorite parts: Key’s

magic

, the epilogue, and the twins

Small cons: this book didn’t need to be so long. I think it could’ve easily been 100 pages shorter and just as good.

I also wish Brodie wasn’t a true villain. I thought it was headed into being a misunderstanding and he could get a happy ending. I think I’d have enjoyed that more personally.
