In no uncertain terms should this book have made me laugh as much as it made me cry. And yet, that’s exactly what happened.

3.0

I loved the first half of this, but I felt like the second half took a tonal shift that just left me scratching my head. The cult side-plot seemed way too heavy to have in a book with such a light-hearted premise. And Gus and January had so much trauma that I felt wasn’t necessarily given enough space in the story. The light-hearted premise felt unbalanced with the heaviness, and I felt the heaviness wasn’t dealt with properly. I have complicated feelings…

This book was so good, it feels like the characters are actual people with their complicated backgrounds and how their story hashed out. Emily Henry's writing was beautiful and I felt really engrossed reading and wanting to know what happens between the MCs throughout my reading. Had me bawling at the end when

she finally read her dad's letters.
