Wowza. Absolutely my favorite Emily Henry book. I was a total outlier, as People We Meet on Vacation was not anywhere near something I enjoyed. Two adults that could have a five minute conversation to solve their "problem" is my most hated trope in the whole world. 

This novel however takes Nora, who constantly gets dumped by romance tropes, who loves the speed and choas of New York City, and who adores her younger sister. We open with Charlie and Nora meeting at a restaurant. This is a rom-com, so infer what you wish, but from the first scene I loved both characters. 


What else I loved:
-- The corny small town feel
-- The list-- IYKYK
-- The emotional aspects of the book were really well written. I found myself tearing up multiple times in the book.
-- The secondary characters were so good. 
-- Nora's character development was superb. Though you can make predictions and guess how she may (or may not) change, it can still be done poorly by authors. In this case, Henry does the perfect amount of change to a character. Nothing so drastic that you just roll your eyes, but enough to feel you're not in the same place by the end of the book. 

Not so much:
-- Though, I would still give this book 5 stars, there was a slight drag in the middle. I will not say which characters, but I needed two characters to have a conversation so the small problem could be solved.
