this has taken the spot as my favorite emily henry book. 

emily henry is my one insta-buy author. anything she puts out, i will be ordering. and this was no exception. i bought it the day after i came out in an airport, i started it and realized quickly that it would probably emotionally torment me so i put it away. i finally took it back out two days ago. i finished it within the day. 

there’s something so different about this book compared to her others. this one felt grown up? it felt like a breath of fresh air. all of the characters compliment each other so well, it makes sense that they’re friends. it makes sense that their lives are always gonna be weaves together. 

i truly loved this book. i could see myself opening it back up again this year, multiple times. i’m truly in awe of emily henry’s writing and i can’t wait to see what’s next.
