Honestly, I wasn't the biggest fan of Happy Place, so it took me a while to read this one because I thought it would be similar, but I regret every second that I wasn't reading it tbh. I don't think I've torn through an Emily Henry book this fast since Book Lovers. The plot was so original, and legitemently funny. I fell in love with all the charecters (expect for Peter and Petra, obviously) and the romance was just the right amount of funny, trope-y and cute! Would definitely r

**1.5/5 stars**

It's nothing personal...

There was no tension, no romance, nothing. And Daphne made age-old mistakes that only caused me to roll my eyes and yell at her.

Miles is an inconsistent and unreliable character. He would give Daphne false hope only to take it away from her two seconds later and hurt her.

All in all, this was a miss. I'm kinda scared to read Emhen's other books now.

Drug addicts and mouth ulcers are not attractive, Emily!
Also not everyone has parent issues
Or abs

I want to see more complex characters, and varied because the books are like competing soda brands; some of them are more popular, but they all taste the same

It's like a bag being labeled as mixed nuts but really only has one kind

She's a fantastic writer, but her characters are similar in actions, and appearance

I just want differentials

It was super cute. And I loved that she was a librarian, and I defo can see why some people cried. It just didn’t means for me quite as much, BUT I LOVE MILES.

Funny story……….. I still haven’t recovered from reading this book, the tension could be felt from MILES away. And Daphne being a children’s librarian was the cherry on top, it was just so fricking adorable!!
