Emily Henry writes her books for me. the way her characters speak to me is insane. 

I loved this book so much, it's definitely a new favourite.

I want to keep January and Gus inside my pocket and protect them with my life.

I also want a Gus all to myself. he's so... perfect. I need a man who is as obsessed with me as he is with January.

this book made me cry, laugh, swoon... I literally don't know what else to say. I don't even know what to do with myself after reading this, someone send help.

this may be only my second Emily Henry book that I read, but she's already one of my all time favourite authors.
