considering how most of my friends and generally people online were bawling over the book, I expected a heartbreaking ending. Like heart wrenching. And it was a complete opposite instead. Felt underwhelming.

Now I wanna admit that Emily Henry's writing hits and never misses and this book was not an exception. Harriet was relatable to many people navigating in their 20s (me included) I really felt for her ESPECIALLY when she decided to go back and opened up to her parents etc.

But for me personally it was a 3.5/5 because I don't think I got attached to any of the characters + I'm still bugged about how the couple broke up in the first place and how it could have been solved with proper communication. (And I know relationships are not that easy and there is always more to it so take this with a grain of salt)

I did enjoy the book overall tho and low-key was envious of the friend groups relationship and dynamic; pure and real
