I absolutely loved this book from start to finish.

Wyn and Harriet absolutely stole my heart. I was hooked on their stories from the beginning. 

I loved to see every part of their Story. Their love for each other was so deep, so genuine, so real. They way they care so deeply about each other. 

I loved the structure of the book as well. How the Story unfolded over time of what led to the break up in the first place. 

As will all of her other books Emily Henry is just a Master of writing such emotionally complex characters. Everything that happened between Harriet and Wyn was so realistic and understandable from their povs. There was no unnecessary drama, it completely made sense from both of their persoectives. 

But the book was more than just a romance novel. It also focused on other kinds of love: Platonic and familial. And that's also what I love Emily Henry for. She always includes these kinds of love into her stories and gives them the importance they deserve. 

It was an absolute pleasure to accompany Harriet and the others through the Story and seeing her grow.
