As someone who isn't particularly fond of romance novels, I was forced to read this by my friends and expected the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised. Henry is not a typical romance writer in the sense that her characters are not one-dimensional or overly perfect/dumb, which was honestly a breath of fresh air. I did find myself skipping through a few of the romance scenes, but that was only because I'm not the biggest fan of romance in general and is not the author's fault in any way. Overall, im happy that I chose this as my first romance book to read in over 6 years and if I ever feel like reading one again im sure to pick up another Emily Henry novel.
