Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

i'm confused how no one knew Wayne's daughter and wife had died in a small everybody knows everyones business town and also Arthur was lowkey a villain

I feel like Emily Henry's early work is a little bit try hard philosophical. It worked in A Million Junes for me but not in this one.

I think my main gripe with this book is that it shouldn't have had such a "happy" ending.
