- I find her FMCs pretty unlikeable... and dense? At least the two I have read. While her MMCs seem to be based on real people and are likeable, it's a strange contrast.
- I don't like some of the metaphors and descriptions. I'm still puzzled with the description that she could 'feel his laugh in her stomach'??? There were others that had me making faces or pausing while I read.
And for this book, the epilogue felt like it was written by another person or character and it was kind of odd. Could have done without. It took away from the ending for me.
Anyways I swear I did like this book quite a bit 😅

EDIT: I just finished this for a second time and these are my thoughts this time lol
This is my second time finishing this book and it wrecked me this time more than it did the first time 😭🤚🏻
If you want a grumpy x grumpy, city folks in a small town romance, please read this book. Emily Henry's writing style is so mwah and even if you don't like the main characters (couldn't be me tho) the side characters are genuinely the light of my life.
Please read this book, you will thank me later 🫶🏻💙🧡

Spoiler
I wasn't quite sure if I should put "Chronic Illness" or not, but this warning is in regards to Charlie's father who I believe had a stroke (it's been a little bit since I read this lol) and was wheelchair bound.Spoiler
Something else I will mention is that there is mild to moderate estranged parent mentions. It is mentioned that Nora and Libby weren't old enough to remember their father by the time he left. It's also mentioned that Charlie's father in the book is actually not his bio dad. Just a couple things to keep in mind if estranged parent mentions are triggering for you!nehanaomi's review against another edition
