2023 reread: I’m not going to change the ranking because I still think that fits. I enjoyed this book a lot, just like I do all Emily Henry. Rereading made me notice how much she calls out characters from her other books. The best pet is him showing up in the bookstore at the end. I would kill for that man. Also I love the irony of reading this almost a perfect 365 days later.
