OOF. This book is way too raw and relatable and , yes, I cried. Emily Henry always writes such REAL characters and I was really wondering the entire book if the Wyn and Harriet would end up together. I think their missteps in the relationship make sense on both sides. 

Not a perfect score because I felt several of the “then” scenes weren’t needed. Like meeting his family or even him proposing. I already knew these things from the present. I think two timelines are just expected in the second chance trope.
