“I don’t need snowflakes as long as there’s January” 😭😭😭😭
book lovers didn’t do it for me. people we meet on vacation didn’t do it for me. BUT BEACH READ DID IT FOR ME
hands down EH’s best book. the storyline was engaging beyond just the romance and felt genuine connections with gus and january. very happy this was a single POV novel and it worked well here. not as funny as other romcoms, but i loved their banter. i felt like the ending was wrapped up a little too fast and we never found out if they gave each other dedications on the other’s book but that’s my only critique. 5/5 stars
