Emily Henry really doesn't disappoint. I liked this even better than Beach Read and People We Meet On Vacation. Maybe that was because in some ways I identified with Nora and Charlie even more than the other couples. I'm no book editor or literary agent, and I really don't think I'd like to try and survive living in NYC. But I am a book person.

This was well written and enjoyable overall.

4.25

I liked that this was much bigger than just the romance, getting into her relationship with her sister, their relationship with/memories of their mom, career trajectories, things like that. I thought the enemies-to-lovers scenario happened really suddenly so it felt almost like a forced trope
