This is a beautiful novel about love and friendship, and the stories that can get in the way of both. Emily Henry does it again, creating a unique and fun story with depth. Her characters have lots of spunk and her writing makes them people I know or want to know. I absolutely love how close the friends are and their nicknames and inside jokes. I liked Harriet’s backstory, relatable. The Maine setting with glimpses of Montana added spectacular beauty. Themes of home and happiness make this a keeper and a novel I recommend in any season. 

“Like even when something beautiful breaks, the making of it still matters.”
