unpopular opinion incoming
first, let me say i am very happy that so many people love this book already. i love that for you, i really do!✨
this book was fine, but i didn’t love it by any means… and believe me, i tried.
maybe my emotions are broken.
maybe i really disliked the miscommunication.
maybe the entire friend groupslightly annoyed me.
maybe the writing felt pretty average.
maybe i went in with my expectations way too high.

i tried to love it but i have to be honest with myself 😅🥲
I haven’t read this book but I feel this review so hard! I hate it when a book that everyone I know raves about doesn’t click with me and then I have to be like “2 stars don’t @ me”
Not at all! It's definitely a mixed reaction, for me, too! 😔Enjoyed it, but didn't love it definitely sums it up? ♥️
Great review, Chloe💓!!!!!!!! Sorry you didn't love this book more!!!!!!!
I feel this review babe and your feelings are totally valid. Enjoyed it but didn’t love it sums it up perfectly! 💙
sorry this was a miss for you! totally valid to not have enjoyed it like everyone else - sometimes books are super hyped so our expectations are so high, hope the next one is a great read! xxx
It's totally ok to not love a book that others rave about. It's what makes us all unique and shows how books affect each person. That's beauty of it! I appreciate your review. Im reading this as a buddy read and only 4 chapters in, so it's too early for me to tell.
you all are so cute! to those of you currently reading/listening — i genuinely hope you love it!! those those of you who also didn’t love it, i’m glad i’m not alone. the fact that reading is subjective is a beautiful thing 🫶🏼
"maybe my emotions are broken." - I feel this deeply lol. All I see is 5 stars or 3 stars! This really just helps me manage my expectations, so thank you! 💖
unpopular opinion but i think i prefer negative reviews bc you learn so much more about the book and whether you’re likely to click with it or not! thank you for sharing your honest thoughts about this one, hope your next read is better <3
love the honest review!! sorry it didn’t work out for you, but i totally get it — this is a book where everyone will have mixed feelings and opinions on! i hope your next read is a lot better. 💘
Your opinion is valid. I haven’t read the book, but I feel like everyone are hyping it up
thank you all! regardless of rating, i’m glad i read it and i do recommend it for this summer. it has such good summer reading vibes. 🥰
It wasn’t my favorite either!
glad to see more reviews like as we get further from publication date. love your review also, Momma Leighellen! ❤️
Thank god someone agrees that the friend group is annoying! 😂

1/2 way through and it might go in my dnf pile. Came her to see if it was worth sticking it out :-/
Julie wrote: "1/2 way through and it might go in my dnf pile. Came her to see if it was worth sticking it out :-/"in my opinion, it's a bit predictable at halfway through... and they continue the miscommunication until well after halfway.
no shame in DNF'ing if that's what you decide to do :)
I keep hearing that with this one! I don't read many romance-y books but I love hers. I always have fairly low expectations and end up impressed lol
the hype ruined book lovers for me so i totally get this
Oh no, this has miscommunication too? I read pwmov by EH and didn’t like it, there was just so much miscommunication.
I agree with you, no shade here!
Everything about this comment is spot on
Miscommunication among adults is basically my biggest pet peeve
@southern lady reads… I agree!!! i just can’t get past how childish miscommunication can be… it’s such an easy fix. JUST TALK
THE MISCOMMUNICATION!!! LIKE GIRL SAY HOW YOU FEEL???
@Abby RIGHT?! i can’t get past it 😂
My least favorite trope is miscommunication. Is it still worth it to read?
@aliganai if you like Emily Henry’s writing, it feels like her other books which is nice. BUT the miscommunication is like 90% through the book and doesn’t get resolved quickly. it’s a NICE book, but the trope did bother me. it’s up to you on if you want to deal with miscommunication for about 75-90% of the book!
The friend group is definitely annoying. And seems weirdly unrealistic
100 percent everything you said, Chloe!
@dishi 100%. 😅 it was so over the top
Ew I hate miscommunication. I may skip this one
no omg not the annoying friend grp and the miscommunication 😭 no wonder you didn't like it!!
hope your next read is loads better <3
Don’t apologize for your honest feelings, hun. Everyone is entitled to their feelings and we all don’t have to feel the same way. That’s the beauty of our world. If we all thought alike, that would make the world a very boring place. I respect your opinion. I hope your next read is a better fit for you.
That’s why I have trust issues with overhyped books👀 Honest review, Chloe! Hope your next read is better😄
The miscommunication was ridiculous, I would have called people out the first day
same so far. taking me forever to get through😕
Unpopular opinion, the ending was too…happy.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who did not like her friends. They annoyed the CRAP out of me!
