this book did some things right and some things fell very VERY flat. some parts were funny and others were very cringey and hard to read. i liked and hated the characters. not sure if i would ever recommend this. (also a message to romance authors, please stop using the exact same name for all male leads. thank you)

I cannot BELIEVE I was tricked into reading Reylo fic… and I liked it? Of course When Harry Met Sally is one of my favorite movies so how couldn’t I, but still!

Goldbeck’s lead characters are very quirky in the perfect romcom way. While I did find the dialogue stilted at times and could have done with less of the side characters (sorry, but they really just weren’t developed enough), overall I got exactly what I wanted out of this book: to kick my feet and giggle. 

I recommend this book to anyone who likes contemporary romance or a relaxing beach read, I was dying to see what happened next with Josh and Ari. Plus, any Nora Ephron fans will enjoy the little nods to her writing.

This book started with cringe is my brand where all the meet cute moments were intentionally incredibly awkward but it grew from there and I ended up very emotionally invested by the end. There was solid character and relationship growth.

4.5

My favorite romantic comedy of all time is When Harry Met Sally...so, this book was essentially written for me, so I'm not surprised that it kept me laughing and swooning throughout. I tabbed this one like crazy and my annotations are pretty unhinged- i wrote a paragraph of nonsense at the end of the third act breakup. I feel like this would've been a 5 star for me but at times I felt it dragging, or maybe it is just that it takes me longer to read thicc books lately, so maybe it isn't entirely the book's fault. I'll be rounding up to 5 on goodreads anyway.
