I loved January just as much as I hated reading about what brought her to the beach house. Now I gotta go call my dad

There was a lot of hype surrounding this book but it far exceeded my high expectations. Emily Henry has raised my standards for the romance genre and how much depth it can contain.

Would recommend the audiobook version read by Julia Whelan

I really enjoy EH’s writing. It’s not the typical all sweet rom-com at all. This one is a bit dark and twisty. I read it in one sitting. I enjoyed it and would have given it 3* , but I stumbled upon a 1* review and when I read it I was like “oh yeah… all those critiques are true.”  

There was a lot of repetition about Gus’s eyes, his messy crumpled clothes etc. I wonder if she did a bunch of the descriptions to just add bulk to the book.

I love all of Emily Henry's books and loved this one! It held darker themes than a lot of her others, and stuff I wasn't expecting, but it just added depth to a well-rounded novel. It's a brilliant and nuanced look at grief and losing a parent, and how it can impact your world view. The characters were brilliant and as always the actual romance was 🔥🔥🔥. I especially love her dialogue between characters!

There is content that may take you by surprise in the discussion of cults, coercive control, abuse, and murder within the cult. The death of a parent and surrounding grief is pivotal to the plot and throughout. There is also a lot of discussion of infidelity
