This was cute, corny at times, but overall I really liked it. I don’t ~love~ the miscommunication trope but I found this one to be a more well-done version of the trope. I found Harriet to be a relatable character, and the friend group overall is pretty likable. My fav Emily Henry book so far!

Not my favourite Emily Henry book. It was good but

they got together like not suddenly but it lacked some explanations and communication

Emily Henry has my whole heart. The way she writes women, female friendship, and honestly just the experiences of her characters makes me feel so seen. 

I love reading about unhinged women as much as anyone, but there's something about a woman who is trying SO HARD to be hinged and learning that it doesn't serve her the way she thought it would. I love Harriet so much.

Drug use is weed gummies -discussed for management of chronic pain, as well as on page use during a movie and at a carnival.
