although this book is more of a mix between historical fiction and romance, i adore both genres so i adored this book. both parts of the book were appealing and entertaining, from the unraveling of this hollywood dynasty to the budding of romance against the typical em-hen backdrop of a small seaside town. the only thing is the pacing, it felt like both plotlines were on a fast track or competing for the spotlight in the book, and it did make me want for more at the end. i would still recommend for this summer and i am still a firm fan of emily henry.
having read all of her romances, my ranking now stands, from best to least favourite:
