I found the majority of this book so unbearably happy. Nothing much happened nor changed until the very last section of the book. This is at heart a tale of great friendship. I think the writer portraid grief in an informative and overall accurate way.

This book had everything. The sad parts, the happy parts, the sappy ones and everything was just kinda funny.

This was my first Emily Henry book and honestly because the e-book was on sale, and I very much loved it. I liked the chemistry of Harriet and Wyn, their friend group and everything.
It was very easy to read and the journeys of Harriet and Wyn each and together were inspiring.

Also, gotta give love for Cleo and Kim being a functional sapphic couple whose history in this book didn’t include homophobia because I wouldn’t have been able to survive that as well. I was already crying on the train ride home because of this book.
