To paraphrase her own writing: If Emily Henry is a charlatan, then I'm an easy mark. 

This is only my second Henry romance, and unfortunately, I didn't like it. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's bad; it just had too much going on for 400 pages, or it spent too much time on the foreplay. 

At first, I thought the side plot interview was way more interesting than anything else happening in the book. However, I think it ended up relying too heavily on pulling from headlines and other similar stories like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo or Daisy Jones & The Six. Additionally, I think I've reached a point where I am incapable of feeling pity for the ultra-rich. Ultimately, I could not empathize with the old lady and was almost disappointed when they all ended up happy in the end.
