I haven't read a whole lot of romance books that are romantic and also emotionally healing, but this is definitely one of them. I was in love with Charlie and Nora as a pairing from the very beginning, and watching Emily Henry twist all the Hallmark tropes to give the business-minded couple a happy ending is near perfection. I would even go so far as to say that this is the Must Read, Quintessential Emily Henry book. I'm really excited to return to it in the future, find new things to appreciate about it, and revel in Charlie and Nora's romance once more.

"I think we might be good together, Stephens." I'm holding this book in my teeth and shaking it wildly. I'm literally feral for this duo.

"That's the thing about women. There's no good way to be one. Wear your emotions on your sleeve and you're hysterical. Keep them tucked away where your boyfriend doesnt have to tend to them and you're a heartless bitch." OUCH NORA

I'll go first. I really really really despise bad worldbuilding. Fourth Wing is the best example of this. The worldbuilding could have been so amazing if the author just thought it out more. But she didn't. So it really sucks. And that's what I mean. When authors don't fully think of the simple questions. Because if I can think for like a few seconds and the thing unravels, you didn't do a good job at all. This also applies to plot points. Because in Fourth Wing, a rebel town was supposedly destroyed but apparently nobody in that goddamn empire even checked the area so they rebuilt the town. How tf does that make sense? How tf would an empire just never check up on that place to see if it's destroyed? Cuz apparently nobody knew they rebuilt. How????? They have dragons. Someone should have flew over that area??? There is no fucking way. It should be common knowledge that they are still around.

This is definitely growing on me - although knowing that Disney Hyperion owns this book definitely puts a damper on it a little. The movie references are soooo cringe, and the writing is a little messy. But otherwise, kind of cute so far. I predict there will be an airport chase scene at some point.

This was such a cute, light romance read! At first I was really discouraged cause I noticed that this book was published by Disney Hyperion... and it didn't help that the obligatory references to the movie in the first three chapters were A LOT. Especially in what is supposed to be a modern Beauty and the Beast retelling, it was honestly a little cringe. But I promised myself that if the book didn't pick up by chapter 5, I'd DNF it. Obviously it picked up, and the Disney references faded away after that. The book grew on me, and as the slow-burn romance started picking up, it was REALLY CUTE!! I was giggling and kicking my feet the entire time!! And, I also really loved the focus on publishing and the process of writing a book and why anyone in the industry does their job. Izzy's pep-talks and journey with her own writing definitely got to me, and reminded me why I love writing as well. I'm only a little disappointed that this was a closed door romance, but not really surprising cause, you know, Disney. All this to say, this was a perfect, short and sweet romance that I needed to kick me back into the romance genre.
