I got a modern-day “You’ve Got Mail” vibe from the bookstore (story time & employee friendship dynamic) which I absolutely loved! 

A bit of a slow start but I really loved the character development. It felt like the characters were in their 20s, not their 30s. 

I’m a fan of how Emily Henry writes her men and Miles is no exception. 

The ending was a bit abrupt and I would’ve liked it to be drawn out a bit more but that seems to be Emily Henry’s style. I appreciated the witty line to end the book. 

Would love to see this as a movie!!

Personally would prefer not to have the detailed spicy scenes so went down 0.25 rating for that (but recognise this is totally personal preference).

Oh MAN this book — and Daphne and Miles and all their issues — burrowed its way into my heart. I spent four hours reading in the sun on the dock, because I absolutely could not put it down. All of Daphne and Miles’s hardships hit deep, and watching them work through it as individuals and together… gods, it was beautiful. And I will defend them as long as I need to, because anyone who doesn’t love Miles is wrong.

Shelve this beside Book Lovers on my Emily Henry favorites list!
