A romance novel with a subplot about a deadly cult in the Michigan woods and I thought it was only okay??
I explicitly saved this book for a holiday at the beach because I'm obsessed with reading the right book in the right location, but it seems like the timing wasn't right anyway. I wish this would have been more about the writing challenge and banter and rivalry and less drama and less January starting to cry as soon as Gus so much as mentions another woman. Of course it's still Emily Henry so it was enjoyable all in all.
