Absolutely gut-wrenching, I finished this in two days which is not common for me as I like to draw out books in order to feel connected. Not this one, nope, I had to tear myself away from this book. Emily Henry is an insta-buy for me and when reading the synopsis I did not think I would enjoy it as much as I had her others, it now sits as one of my favorites of hers. Harriet, Sabrina, and Cleo's relationship remind me so much of my friendships with my two college best friends and the fear of moving away and lives going on, that the friendship would end. It was a huge fear, so I can only imagine how many other people in the same situation felt when reading it. The relationship between Harriet and Wyn frustrated me at times but it was still clear to me that they held feelings for each other but had a lot of work to do on themselves before they could truly be together. The way Henry was able to show that was impeccable. At first I did not like Harriet's parents, her mother especially until the very last chapter where we find out she just doesn't want her daughter to make the same sacrifices for her own life to be with a man, she just didn't know how to communicate that in a positive manner. To me this was Henry's 'realist' books, I mean that in a way that I could picture all of this actually happening in a real life situation and while that may have to do with me sharing multiple similarities to Harriet, it will sit in my top five books for this year for sure. I encourage anyone (especially young women) who have just graduated from college to read this book, you just might find something of yourself within.
