"Better than I expected. They did fall in love a little quickly and some parts felt like they werent given adequate attention but it didnt feel exactly shallow. Didnt feel deep either. Like the characters werent exactly done quite yet but it kinda worked. Overall an enjoyable light read."

"I did enjoy this book, but it’s not my favorite of Emily Henry’s writings. Not my favorite love interest…but still good, clever writing. "

"This has to be one of my new favorite romances. Not only was the love story between January and Gus pitch perfect, but the theme of accepting the ugliness of the world and choosing to still find beauty and love and happiness in your today had me in tears. I loved this so much. Really there’s nothing else to say."

Madeline Glanton

"3.5⭐ Definitely not my favorite romance novel ever, but it was still pretty good. It was a bit of a slow start in my opinion but I'm glad I stuck with it because I did end up enjoying it. The writing style was a bit different than I'm used to but enjoyable nonetheless."

"It was cute, not my favorite. The characters Emily Henry creates I always find enjoyable and entertaining."

"I would have given this 5 stars but i feel like the fighting that happened in this book was miscommunication and i think that's a little overdone. "

"If you’re a fan of Emily Henry, this book is on par with her others. A sweet story that involves January and Gus dealing with some baggage and both suffering from writers block. This grumpy v sunshine duo agree to help each other through. If you’re looking for a charming hallmark-esque, lighthearted read…this fits the bill."
