My Review:
All around this is just a wonderful book by Emily Henry
Emily Henry’s books often have a fun, lighthearted vibe, but she always finds a way to tug at your heartstrings. The relationship between the main character and her sister, which we follow throughout the entire book, is so sweet—it brought me to tears multiple times. I have a great relationship with my older sister, and stories like this get me every time. (Although, I don’t know any adult siblings who actually call each other “sissy” all the time!)
The romance in this book is also incredibly well-written. We get to dive into both characters’ hopes and dreams, as well as the sacrifices they’ve made to reach their current status in the publishing world. The ending got me so good—I still get butterflies thinking about it.
Overall, this is just a wonderful book by Emily Henry.
