Emily Henry is a mastermind.

This book was one of the best things I have EVER read. Every aspect of the story was amazing.

Her writing style is probably my favourite out of all the ones I have seen. The way she describes emotions and different situations makes the characters feel so realistic. There were so many lines in this book that I wanted to just rip out and stick on my wall.

Harriet and Wyn. Their banter, their dynamic, the CRAZY chemistry between them throughout the novel and everything about them was just wonderful to read about. Both of them had realistic issues whilst dealing with grief and mid-life criseses. They were made for this story. It felt like the pieces of a puzzle falling perfectly into place. Magic.

The original two timelines eventually bleeding into each other made it so much more interesting to read and it definitely played a huge role in keeping me invested in the book.

The things that she wrote about relationships in this completely shifted my aspects in the best way possible. It made me appreciate what I already have much more than I had before.

I love this masterpiece with all my heart and I would recommend it to anyone.

Want is a kind if thief. It's a door in your heart, and once you know it's there, you'll spend your life longing for whatever's behind it.

Not my favourite Emily Henry book. It was good but
they got together like not suddenly but it lacked some explanations and communication

This was a great read. It was fun, and relatable at a lot of parts. I liked the ending. The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars was because it was good but not something I would read again. I wasn’t over the moon about it, but it was good. Would recommend.

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.

Beautiful story and written in such a way, I felt like I was there with the characters. I read it in 3 days and I can't remember when I last read a book so fast!

I would have probably been devastated if the book didn't end how I was hoping it would so thank you for keeping me on the edge of my seat without crushing my dreams at the end of the book, Emily Henry!
