Absolutely loved this book, I couldn’t read it quick enough. I wanted more! I fell in love with the characters and I was so invested in them.

📖
I liked this "friends to lovers" situation -- college friends with a slow burn. I enjoyed this book. I struggled to get into, but once I got in, I was hooked. I liked the two timelines -- one with the flashbacks and one in the present day -- and I liked seeing how their feelings and relationships changed over the years. I liked the pacing. The characters were alright and their relationships were interesting with how they changed over the years. The plot was decent despite being predictable.

What in the contrived-barely-a-reason-not-to-be-together…?

Still, adorable, and I’m a little mad about it. How can the thing keeping these two apart be so DUMB, but the book be enjoyable enough to earn 4 stars? Ugh. I’m annoyed at myself for seeing this book’s glaring flaw and liking it anyway, and I’m annoyed with Ms. Henry for charming me enough to do so.

4 stars — begrudgingly.

I was a puddle of emotions for weeks after reading this. I still can’t get Alex and Poppy out of my head. The flashbacks and buildup of their friendship through the years had me straight up falling in love with them. Alex is one of my fav MMC’s ever. This story is just the sweetest.

I started this reread because it was my birthday and this is one of my favourite books.
The day after my birthday was a collossal mess and unexpectedly stressful. This story is a ray of sunshine. I love both Poppy and Alex. I love the way Emily Henry shows their friendship. 
I even think that the third act conflict is valid.
If you like stories spanning years, travelling the world and the US and home being a person then read this book.
