Can grumpy/grumpy be an official trope? Because I'm tired of grumpy/sunshine, give me ALLLLLL the grouchy love. (It's quite possible that this is just my inner grinch speaking, who knows?)

But I absolutely loved it, even more than People We Meet on Vacation... and for me that's huge. I loved that Nora never lost herself and that the 3rd act conflict that thrusts her and Charlie apart is actually *realistic*. Nora shows that boss ass bitches deserve love too, though they might be a bit blind to it at first. And it alludes to the questionable trope of giving up your life's passion to work on a Christmas tree farm a la Hallmark in the best way. Julia Whelan crushes it as usual, with her "man" voice being just the perfect amount of Roy Kent to send shivers down my spine. And Emily Henry is just sheer perfection with her acerbic prose and plots that leave you devastated. All around, an amazing book.
