3.5
3.5๐ my first emily henry book. definitely wasnโt the romance book i was expecting, but i loved seeing the relationship between nora and libby ๐ฅน๐ฉต i really feel like this more kind of more about the sisters and their story than the romance between bora and charlie. but it was overall enjoyable. iโll still continue to read other emily henry books, iโve heard that i may like the others better!
editing to add that after talking to some friend emily henry and this book in particularly reads more as womenโs fic than romance, which settles and explains my disappointment in this one. why is it labeled as contemporary romance on the back of the book? ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ฉ iโll probably try re-reading it in the future knowing what i know now! ๐

this was an incredibly sweet and heartwarming book about finding yourself and trying your best to accomplish your dreams no matter what. i think it was a wonderful debut novel and iโll continue to read more books by kristina forest. i also really loved the authorโs note at the end of the book and for me, it made this book even more special.

this book was so slowโฆ definitely the slowest slow burn iโve ever read. and it was a little cheesyโฆ but cute in the beginning, even through the annoying parts. almost dnfโd a few times, but managed the finish the whole thing and definitely felt that this book just wasnโt for me.
