Katherine Center has done it again. This may have eclipsed The Bodyguard for my favorite book???
I learned so much about face blindness and wow I just loved the characters. Definitely didn’t see some of the reveals coming. 10/10

How does Emily Henry always manage to share beautiful art that makes me feel things? And how does she write these beautiful and complex characters with years of history and inside jokes in a believable way?
This story always hits close to home for me in ways that I don’t fully understand. Yes, it includes mutually in love and terrified best friends (🙋‍♀️), and yes, they both decide they would rather have the other in their life forever, even if it means that they wouldn’t be a couple (🙋‍♀️), and they are fully accepting, understanding, and accommodating of the others social preferences and mental illnesses (🙋‍♀️), but it goes beyond that for me.
Feeling ashamed of but fiercely protective of quirky family, not feeling at home anywhere, not knowing what you want in your future.

What makes you who you are? How do you know who you are or what you want? How does the mortifying experience of allowing someone to know and love you fit in with figuring out who you are? 

I sob through the epilogue and the revelations Poppy has about learning who you are and who you can be as a person or as a couple, being wholly known by someone, and how even when they aren’t the best versions of themselves, they always love the other and never want them to hurt

There are all sorts of dreams and sometimes they come true. 

I wish we’d have seen more of Henry or had a dual POV or something, but this was totally sweet and the epilogue made me grin ear to ear.

This broke me and I spent the last hour of the audiobook with tears streaming down my face. 
Would recommend. 

Rock star and a widow— on tour together and lots of misunderstandings

Yeesh. 

They made Marilla and Rachel lesbian lovers, which definitely wasn’t on my bingo card. If anyone is in a queer relationship, it’s Diana and Anne. 

All in all this was exactly what you’d think it’d be. I did love all of the small nods to the movies though! 

I’m such a sucker for Rebel Blue Ranch 😻
