I’m sorry what the fuck??
This book ripped my heart clean out of my chest
I liked this so much more than the first one (which is still really enjoyed but I was confused 99% of the time). BUT IT MADE ME SUFFER. A LOT
I’m very curious about the next book though because I really didn’t expect this book to end the way it did

This felt like Powerless by Elsie Silver and Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage had a baby. That in itself is not a bad thing considering I adored both books but it just felt like a complete copy & paste of both of those so I wasn’t really invested
This book was so so so beautiful
I spent about 80% of this crying because it was so emotional
Bo is an absolute dreamboat I love him so much

I loved this! The only reason it’s not rated higher is because I just didn’t really feel their connection and it went from fake to not fake a bit fast in my opinion to the point where I didn’t really see why it changed at all and I just wasn’t super invested in this story
But it’s a great sapphic fake fiancée book and I would recommend it
I’m actually quite sad about this review because I really enjoyed the first ~60% and until *that* scene I would’ve easily given this book 3,5 - 4 stars
But that chapter (and anyone’s who’s seen the show or read this book will know what I’m talking about) gave me the biggest ick and I can’t ignore it
I already didn’t like it when I watched the show but still wanted to give this book a chance because I enjoyed the rest. But I thought it was so much worse in this book and it made me feel so disgusted and shitty. It honestly just went downhill from there
I think I will probably read the other books because I’m very interested in them and I like season 2 of the show more than season 1 so I think I will enjoy the other books

I was so convinced I was going to LOVE this book and i did enjoy it I just didn’t really like it all that much
I get that Nora’s supposed to be super quirky and different and girly and all that jazz but it sometimes felt like she was just trying way too hard to be that quirky. I usually like these kinds of fmcs because they’re fun but Nora felt a bit like she was just trying to act like she’s the quirky fun gal when she’s not. Her jokes felt a bit forced sometimes and that made me cringe a bit (mostly in the beginning, after a while I got used to it)
Also for some reason her “quirkiness” was used as an excuse a lot for her to ignore boundaries and I didn’t like that at all
Just because she’s a hugger doesn’t mean she can just randomly throw herself at someone and then if that someone doesn’t want to be hugged she’d be like “people just judge me for being too much” no you’re just ignoring every single boundary anyone sets
And I honestly couldn’t stand Derek at the beginning but he redeemed himself pretty quickly
One thing I very much appreciated and loved was the feminism!!
I can see why other people really love this book but sadly I’m not one of them
I would still recommend it to others though!
Reread: this book feels like such a gut punch I AM NOT OKAY but i mean that in the best way possible
I had sky high expectations for this… and they were met!
At this point I’m convinced Emily Henry is a witch because how is every book she writes so BEAUTIFUL??
20 pages in and I could already tell that I would love this with everything in me
I can’t even describe the way this book (like her other books) made me feel. I was an emotional mess reading this and her writing is just so so beautiful and funny and emotional!
I think one thing that always makes Emily Henry’s books so special is that it emphasises how important it is to be happy with yourself and not just with a partner
It’s a love story not just between two people but between Daphne and herself. To find out what she wants out of life for herself and not just for her and Miles together
