I think Emily Henry's books just get better and better. She's going to be an auto by for me from here on out. I love how her books bring me all the feelings.
I started off disgusted with Peter for being a jerk and doing what he did to Daphne. I loved Daphne the whole way through the book.

I wanted to like this book more but more than half of the book I was worried I wouldn't believe the MMC will actually fall for the FMC, but once I got over that worry I realised that... maybe I am the one not in love with our FMC.
This book had potential to be very funny, if only it embraced the fake dating trope a bit more - that scene at the winery when Daphne is there with Ashleigh was a lot of fun. And to be fair (view spoiler) ...more
