Read this while ovulating. Don't recommend it. Or maybe I do. Depends on where you're at in your cycle too. The yearning was chef's kiss good, who doesn't want a little bit of "lusting after a guy I'm not supposed to" in their life? Well, probably lots of people, but I'm not a part of that group.

Shit was cute, and Miles overall was a great partner. Trauma dumping right after sex was so realistic it hurt, don't ask why just know it is. :)

My main criticism is I read this in like two days, so the repetitive nature of Emily Henry vocabulary/sentences/writing was distracting at times (me and "padding" are no longer friends) and the ending was a bit rushed. I'm glad there

wasn't a complete falling out like literally every other romance ever

, and the conclusion was satisfying and a strong statement on independence that I wasn't overall bothered by the condensed nature of the last few chapters.
