I picked this up because I have read all of Emily Henry's other novels and they have really gotten me into the romance genre. This definitely wasn't my favorite, and at times the plot almost got too sappy, but it was enjoyable. I loved the found family aspect in the plot and the different layers and types of friendship and love.

But the ending frustrated me! Harriet disliking her job and wanting to quit to not only to try something new but to move to Montana to be with Wyn seemed like it came out of nowhere. It would have been better if that was woven throughout the book, but I guess the author didn't want the ending to be too predictable. But it's a romance: predictability is the game and it's absolutely fine.
