3.0
3.5 stars.
Liked this book more than the other Emily Henry novel I’ve read, Beach Read. Preferred the literary pairing a lot more, and I liked how the protagonist was a cutthroat city lover. Enjoyed the small-town setting, very Gilmore Girls-esque.
The issue I have with contemporaries in general is that I rarely find contemporary conflict all that convincing. Would’ve given this a higher rating, but I felt the ending dragged and the book could’ve been completed 100 pages earlier.
A good, easy contemporary read.
