 " Just because not everyone gets you doesn't mean you're wrong. You're someone people can count on. Really count on. And that doesn't make you cold or boring. "

I knew from the first few pages that this book will be my new favorite from her. I don't know how Emily Henry does it but I was so in love with Nora's character that she was portrayed as complex and misunderstood in a way where you know that there's a lot to decipher about her character which makes me love her more.

Charlie and Nora were so alike that they were really perfect for one another. I adored their relationship and how they interact, where you know that there is chemistry and a bit of longing and want when they do encounter each other. I didn't mind that it wasn't really focused on Charlie and Nora considering I worship Libby and Nora's sister relationship as if it was my own with my sisters.

I loved the deep dive into family relationships and how it connects to the character's internal struggles that they faced throughout the story. The development each of them had was so beautifully written and it helped shaped them as a person to see and appreciate themselves more.
