Holy fuck, this is a 5-star romance. Compared to 'Book Lovers' (which I gave 2 stars) it's COMPLETELY night and day! I enjoyed this SO much.
I'd pretty much sworn myself off romance as a genre after a looong stint of bad reads, but this book might have just saved it for me! The situations actually felt realistic, the tension was so good, and I actually liked and could relate to the characters! I also loved to see positive mental health representation in men.
The miscommunication (an annoying staple of most romances for me) came from emotional constipated-ness, which in this case I don't mind, as it was one of the main points of the book.
I'm honestly baffled by the difference between my first two Emily Henry books, and can only hope the next one of hers I read is as good as this.
