That aspect of this novel was done really well with Hannah's life taking two different and interesting paths. I enjoyed the voice of the main character and loved the friendship between Hannah and Gabby. This was the highlight of the book for me. I smiled at all the points I was meant to. I had tears in my eyes at appropriate times. I did an internal 'awww' when aww worthy moments occurred. However, I did think the book was a bit preachy about fate and destiny at times. I like to think about things myself and not have an author point out their messages so overtly. Not my favourite TJR outing but still entertaining....more

I love her relatable characters and her wonderfully witty and intelligent writing.
If you feel like an effortless romance with adorable main characters who have crazy levels of chemistry then this is the book for you. Emily Henry writes such funny and relatable characters that you can't help but fall in love with. Alex and Poppy are best friends whose annual holidays are a great source of joy but simmering underneath is always the big 'what if'. The story jumps back and forth in time as we learn more about why these friends haven't spoken for two long years. A perfect lazy weekend read.
