People are complicated and its crazy how old emotions can spill over later in life… Oof this started out rough, not in a badly written way, it’s very well written I love Emily Henry, but in a way that was rough for the characters. Both these MCs get left by their partners, so that those two can be together, and these two end up being roommates and comforting each other through this terrible breakup. This was super funny and cute the slow unraveling of two roomies slash fake daters falling in love - only it’s not really about that… This seems more of a story about overcoming emotional childhood trauma and finding oneself outside of getting lost when you are part of a couple, or even family. How do you learn to love yourself, or be yourself, when you are constantly adapting to being something someone else expects or needs? 🌶️ 2/5 Ooo man this is a slow burn, but it burns so good. You really get a good build up with these two MCs, their want, their desire, their brokenness and the yearning to just be that rock for each other. Its good. It’s not super spicy, but it's enough to make you want more.
