This book was SO good, very well written. Kinda broke my heart but it reflects positively that the characters experiences made me feel SO much.

This is the second Emily Henry book I’ve read. I preferred Beach Read. Found this one a bit disappointing, leaning heavily on character tropes but not committing enough to turn them on their heads. Found the characters and their issues over dramatized and hard to relate to. GREAT sex scenes tho.

This series was so good and ended really well. I am mourning the end of this trilogy.

Did not finish book.
The pick-me vibes coming off Daisy Jones were wild, and everyone acting like her and Billy were hot shit annoyed me. I didn’t even get to the point where they all joined together.
