And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite

Emily Henry's books are a like my favorite cardigan! I've had a journey with her books, and while this won't be my FAVORITE book or anything, the writing, banter, chemistry, and THE MAN reminded me why Emily Henry is the wittiest and coolest writer in town!

Julia Whelan's narration?!?!!! perfection!

I do think this was trying to have the friends-to-lovers soul-seeing connection of people we meet on vacation but on a different timeline. Comparison is the thief of joy, and when thinking of Alex and Poppy, these two characters (whose names I've already forgotten) fall short, but I do think it has that same soul-mate feeling. (This woman was also a MUCH LESS relatable character than Poppy for me.)

I want a library read-a-thon, and a bearded, croc-wearing, winery, bar tender man!

ALSO A LOVE LETTER TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN!!! I'm mad overdue for a Michigan summer.


the third act conflict was sooooo lame

the last chapter ex-best-friend "resolution" is so solid!
