It was actually scary how much Harriett and I are alike. In med school to be a brain surgeon (when she listed all the downsides to being a doctor I was like... don't effing tell me this girl, I'm still in denial), never learned how to fight, doesn't like to be touched, always goes along with everyone's plan because we honestly don't care and then realize it could be seen as apathy... wow. I even showed up to a very small airport way too early once and I just started laughing when that happened because... no main character has ever been this much like me.

I enjoyed the story, Emily Henrys books are always so funny and have such a cozy vibe.
I didn't like the miscommunication trope or better: the-not-talking-at-all-about-their-thoughts-and-problems-trope because it's just something I genuinely cannot get behind.
BUT overall, it was still a very good, quick read that made me smile and swoon and love the characters.
