I really enjoyed the way this book follows Emma and Dexter throughout the years, on the same day each year, a unique and engaging concept. 

Emma was my favourite of the too as I found her to be lovable and relatable. But all of the characters are very well realised.

The latter part of the book felt rushed and the ending was abrupt, had more time been taken exploring this stage of their relationship I feel I’d of rated higher.

It’s certainly worth the read if you enjoy a slow burn, friends to lovers romance.

I had to take a break from this book 50% of the way through because it put me in a rut. I’m glad I finished it, but it was hard to get through. I didn’t like that every chapter left off on a cliffhanger and the next chapter jumped a year into the future. I felt like a lot of cliffhangers were never fully “wrapped up”. I also kept finding myself thinking “I can tell a man wrote this book” every time Emma’s appearance was described.

okayyy, man likās, ka grāmata būs tikpat laba vai pat labāka nekā seriāls, bet jāsaka, ka es biju diezgan vīlusies. nu nevar būt tā, ka diviem cilvēkiem visu laiku ir melnā strīpa dzīvē, un tad, kad parādās cerības stars par labāku dzīvi, tad emma vienkārši ņem un nomirst. skatoties seriālu, es biju vairāk moved nekā lasot par to grāmatā. viņi abi ir sarkanie karogi, un es pat nezinu, kas mani nesaistīja šajā grāmatā. varbūt rakstīšanas stils? varoņi? es pat nezinu, bet es ļoti, ļoti centos, lai man iepatiktos šī grāmata, bet tas diemžēl nebija manos spēkos. :(
