The same universe that dispassionately takes things away can bring you things you weren't imaginative enough to dream up.

miles and daphne were actually really cute despite how different they were and their banter was so amusing. the story, however, was kinda boring sometimes…

don’t get me wrong, it was cute. it was fun. but it was nothing too special. i liked the messiness, i liked the drama, i just wish there was more of it. some of the ‘drama’ was just so anticlimactic in the end.

emily henry does have a knack at writing beautiful and funny found families, especially when they are from small towns–as demonstrated in this book as well. i loved all the wacky side characters we met that helped our main characters come to their senses.

so in the end, though it took me a bit to fully get into the characters and story, i quickly became invested because i felt like the chemistry between miles and daphne and i loved how it grew naturally.
