I started this reread because it was my birthday and this is one of my favourite books.
The day after my birthday was a collossal mess and unexpectedly stressful. This story is a ray of sunshine. I love both Poppy and Alex. I love the way Emily Henry shows their friendship. 
I even think that the third act conflict is valid.
If you like stories spanning years, travelling the world and the US and home being a person then read this book.

This is my favorite book by Emily Hebry so far.
Spoiler very spicy book. The character's journey is a moving one. You want to scream to get it together but when characters finally go through self reflection and theapy I found myself feeling it was prefect. Poppy needed to confront herself and find herself. Alex needed to confront his fears. I lovethe open future for them. They are together but where they will live is undecided.

This book took some time to settle into; but once I found my groove, I loved it. I think everyone can relate to the frantic energy of Poppy trying to save a relationship that meant the world to her as well as her angst in trying to define what true happiness looks like in her life. 
As always, Emily Henry blends thoughtful storytelling with page-turning romance.

Although I don’t like Poppy and some flashbacks were unnecessary, this book was so good! Beautifully written and so easy to read. Rare are those books I can finish so fast
