I want to preface this review by saying you must read it while picturing me giddily screaming the words. Because, let me tell you, I fucking love January and Gus. I fucking love this book. I love the complicated relationships with parents and the complicated relationship with one's self and the academic "rivals" to lovers and the bet turned relationship trope and the terrible movie marathons and the having to face the bad parts of life and the rawness of everything and the sex against bookshelves and the writers block and the meddling lesbian aunts and the friends can be soulmates too and the love that basically seeps off the pages of this book and of course, the wonderful homage to A Walk to Remember. I loved this book so much it has me reviewing in run on sentences. And oh my god, this book makes me fall in love with the miscommunication trope. How does that happen? How does an author write miscommunication so well that I like it? Emily Henry, the lady and savior of Adult romance, please answer me because I need to know.
