Definitely my favorite of Emily Henry’s flawless collection, maybe my favorite romance book ever (reread!). The romance in this book is impeccable, but the intricacies of the plot are what make it a 5/5. I love how the author explores each of the protagonists’ pasts, including some pretty harsh grief, betrayal, and general trauma, and also delves deeply into the books they are each writing. Honestly, sign me up to read either of those! The characters get tons of development even before they form an attachment. The slow burn enemies to friends to lovers is *chef’s kiss.* Infinitely recommend.
