I'm a sucker for characters who communicate. Like it's literally sexier than any smut I've ever read. And mannnnnnn does Emily Henry deliver. It seems like everyone is writing second-chance romance now, but this is next level. It takes fake dating and turns it into fake "still engaged", but we all know that Harri and Wyn still love each other. Add in a lobster festival and a chaotically codependent friend group, and you know that it's gonna be GOOOOOOOD. Julia Whelan also kills it as usual - her gruff cinnamon roll man voice gets me every time. But what's even better is the personal growth that Harri goes through and all of the casual mental health rep. As someone with late diagnosed depression, it was so hard to realize that life isn't this tough for everyone else in the world. I felt so freaking SEEN.

Ultimately everyone and their mom is going to be screaming about this book for the next year, but I'm telling you that it's worth it.
