Omg! Ali Rosen had me kicking my feet with this one. I loved that it was based on You Got Mail, and Nora was a great main character. I saw a lot of myself in her struggle to set boundaries and not want to disappoint anyone. I loved the NYC and London settings. Nora's food sounded absolutely delicious, and I'm so glad Ali included the recipes. I also loved that Nora was a therapist but was also in therapy. I saw so much growth in her from the beginning of the book to the end. I also loved Eli. He was multifaceted and his words brought me so much joy. The reveal was so good! No spoilers, even though I could see the twist coming, it was executed so well. Everything about this story made me happy. Ali Rosen nailed it, and I'm so happy I read this one when I did. Thank you to Montlake for the ARC to read and review!
