Alex and Henry, first enemies, but was that animosity hiding something neither wanted to acknowledge? Yes.
They both just have to get to that point (or maybe just Alex does?).
I love how they were forced to be in one another's company after an incident at a wedding, but quickly started communicating with each other just because they wanted to. Alex, clearly didn't realize what was actually happening during these exchanges (and we don't have Henry's pov) until June, or maybe Nora, calls a spade a ...more

I saw the movie (and loved it) before reading the book.
What I enjoyed:

What could have been better:
* I would have liked to see more from Henry's side.

1.5/5.0 - Contrary to the 94% of people who liked or loved this book, it did not work for me. Well, a few things did. The title is cute, and I like the cover. There were about 50 pages in the middle that really felt good (where the families were supporting Alex and Henry). Oh, I thought the quotes from literature and such that they put in each email were cool. What I didn't like about it: I found it not believable that a 21 year old man doesn't understand his sexuality. Sure, I could buy that he

I heard the fuss over this book and it is SO worth it. It's a heartwrenching "how will it ever work out?" enemies-to-lovers romance within a charming and often tongue-in-cheek alternate timeline, with sensitively handled issues of sexuality, race, and responsibility, great side characters, and a good dose of humour.
