i have the same criticism for this that i had for emily henry’s other book: it should have been dual pov. that would have made it so much better. it would have made gus’ character sooooo much better and more cohesive. also januarys pov didnt really develop her attraction to him. she was just all of a sudden into him. and the whole “nemesis” thing was a little dramatic. however, i have to give this book a lot of credit because i have not cried in nearly 3 months, even though i usually cry a lot, and this book made me cry. it actually felt very cathartic. thank you, emily henry

update: 1 yr later. i literally have not stopped thinking about this book since i read it. i am changing my rating to 5 stars. i still wish it had gus’ pov, but this book is just perfectly written otherwise
