I really enjoyed the way this book follows Emma and Dexter throughout the years, on the same day each year, a unique and engaging concept.
Emma was my favourite of the too as I found her to be lovable and relatable. But all of the characters are very well realised.
The latter part of the book felt rushed and the ending was abrupt, had more time been taken exploring this stage of their relationship I feel I’d of rated higher.
It’s certainly worth the read if you enjoy a slow burn, friends to lovers romance.
