Absolutely devastated by that ending. 
I loved it soooo so much and the characters felt so alive. Though one thing I will say is that I’m unsure if the author was making light jokes about the characters or actually like disagreeing with their personalities, if that makes sense? Anyway, amazing read.

A beautiful and harrowing book. Both characters are very relatable and though both are far from perfect you feel great sympathy for them as the novel progresses.

Soooo good. It’s a little like When Harry Met Sally, but with characters that are both a little more flawed and a little more relatable, and the whole story is better for it. It’s an emotional roller coaster but definitely worth the ride!

I really enjoyed the way this book follows Emma and Dexter throughout the years, on the same day each year, a unique and engaging concept. 

Emma was my favourite of the two as I found her to be lovable and relatable. But all of the characters are very well realised.

The latter part of the book felt rushed and the ending was abrupt, had more time been taken exploring this stage of their relationship I feel I’d of rated higher.

It’s certainly worth the read if you enjoy a slow burn, friends to lovers romance.

I absolutely loved the tv show on Netflix, so I decided to give the book a go. I was actually quite disappointed. I found the characters unlikable at first, pretentious and annoying. But I still read it till the end. I discovered how the series was loyal to the book. But each time the main characters interacted, I just didn’t see any chemistry or reason for them to like each other. But the individual development of both characters was interesting. Sadly, I just couldn’t help rolling my eyes at times when they got together. 
For those who hesitate between the book and the adaptation, I’d say go for the latter.
