And there’s also a bit of angst towards the end (I might have cried a little). Never skip an Emily Henry book is kinda my motto at this point because I just know it’s gonna be such quality time ❤️...more

2.5 This just wasn’t my cup of tea. I picked it up because it was recommended to me as an angsty romance, but there was nothing angsty about it (at lea2.5 This just wasn’t my cup of tea. I picked it up because it was recommended to me as an angsty romance, but there was nothing angsty about it (at least in my opinion). The characters were bland and I skipped through the second half of the book because it was kind of boring and felt like we’re going in circles.
Spoilers ahead ->
The romance between Bell and Ford felt forced. He was supposedly in love with her sister and I expected that there would be guilt on that front, that both of them would have to navigate through these past emotions and come to terms with the new feelings for each other. But nope… I didn’t feel Bell‘s guilt at all, even though she mentioned it a couple times (show don’t tell). As for Ford, his guilt was all about the accident and I got so tired of everyone being like „It’s not your fault“ all the time and him agreeing. I get it. Move on. I don’t believe for a second that he was actually in love with Violet, but I also don’t feel like his feelings for Bell had a solid ground. Again, show don’t tell. We‘re told that they understand each other like no one else, but to me all of their interactions seemed very superficial with zero depth to them. Also the fact that Violet, as it turns out in the end, oh so conveniently wanted to break up with Ford anyway because she knew that him and Bell should be together ? Meh. There was no foreshadowing for this at all, so it just feels like a deus ex machina.
„But is there any spice to make up for the boring plot?“ you may ask. I wish it weren’t there at all because it felt so awkward...more
