New Yorker Nora a workaholic literary agent has been dragged to a small town by her free spirited, heavily pregnant sister, to relax and complete a we aren’t dying “bucket list”. But of course she runs into her nemesis editor Charlie and his snarky “I’m too good” vibe and well now she can’t get away from him.

So now she’s stuck in a tiny town, with a ridiculous to do list, her sister is acting weird and she’s having to converse with the man who was at first annoying and now is annoyingly becoming more and more enjoyable to be around (god damn it!)

This is my first Emily Henry read and I really enjoyed it.
Number 1. we have an FMC that doesn’t make stupid life choices or act like and idiot with weird obsessions in order to create plot.
Number 2. The Nora and Charlie banter is “chefs kiss” and their interactions seem to develop naturally and realistically.
Number 3. The town sounds like a hilarious almost Gilmore Girls-esque set up with quirky residents to boot.
And finally our 3rd act drama is a realistic life choice that I’m completely and utterly here for!

Oh and how could I forget… Bigfoot erotica 🤣🤣

The ending was a little too long. The book should have been about 1 hour of audio shorter. I was ready for it to be over.

I enjoyed a lot of it but the conclusion was drawn out. I enjoyed the sisters dynamic. Charlie wasnt the most interesting love interest. He was most interesting at the very start of the book during the work meeting and when Nora was trolling him.

I enjoyed the setting.
