This and Book Lovers are my top Emily Henry books. I liked that it was subversive and meta. Light, not literary, but still thoughtful and well-written.

 It ends as expected and wrapped up a little too quickly to be super satisfying.

The meta aspects about the process of writing and the ideas of romance vs literary fiction and happy endings vs not were amazing and I liked the characters. I wasn’t as delighted by the witty banter as I was with Book Lovers. There were times I could tell I was supposed to be witty, but it fell a little flat for me.

Overall I really enjoyed it.
