“It’s a feeling not unlike reading a really good book: all-consuming, worry-obliterating.”

Who doesn’t love a good book that’s ABOUT books? I love when a book is somehow centered around books. Right away, I always love the characters because of their love of books - and THESE characters. Oh, man. Nora and Charlie and Libby. Their characters were so well-formed and created.
I love how deep and real Charlie and Nora are with each other. I love that Nora spends 2 years after a bad first-impression o ...more

I loved this story. The writing was beautiful with unique and creative imagery. Henry has a talent for placing you into the world of the characters. You experience their emotions and ride their character arc with them. Romantic, heart-warming and funny in parts. I loved the banter between Nora and Charlie. I don't know about you, and I certainly won't spoil it for anyone, but I wondered about the resolution, and I was right. And I was pleased about that too.

LOVE everything by Emily Henry, can’t lie, and this book definitely held my attention throughout, but I knocked down a star simply because I felt like I couldn’t relate to the characters as much as I’d like to. I still loved the plot and was invested in the story, I just didn’t relate to this read as much as I think I did to Happy Place. Still a 4.5 star read for me and would def still recommend to a friend!!
