    I loved this one. I think there wasn't even anything I didn't like about it. I enjoy Emily Henry's writing a lot, I like the fact that her characters are in a way normal, regular and relatable people, with everyday problems (I prefer that to stories where e.g. one person is absolutely rich and can magically solve all problems of the other person). I liked characters development, I liked Daphne starting to set boundaries, I liked the more and more reflective approach towards the situations that took place. I'd love to reread this book, which doesn't happen often for me.

    "Anything you need a helmet to do," I say, "you probably simply shouldn't do." He steps closer, the breeze ruffling his hair, and pulls the helmet down over my head. "Or maybe," he says, eyes crinkled against the sun, "everything worth doing comes with some risk."

    This is quite uplifting, especially that I'm just about to head out to a racetrack in my car đŸ„č

    “London first. Ireland. Then Europe.”

    Okay, this is such a small thing, but why are London and Ireland listed separately from Europe? 😭 They’re both in Europe! Surely the author must know that??

    Enjoyment: 4.5Quality: 4.0Characters: 4.0Plot: 4.0

    Each book of these series hit me differently. This one seemed to be a bit darker, a bit less funny, but as interesting as the second book. It was for sure long, but tbh I didn't really lose excitement and didn't get bored in the middle. What I most enjoyed was how you could easily see all the emotions main characters were hiding under all this arguments and banter. Obviously, a lot of their actions were immature, but it didn't annoy me that much, as I was just focusing on how they're going to get closer together in the end. I enjoyed a lot the chapters of their youth and found it sweet. There are some things, though, that bother me in Lucy Score's books, which I've read up until now, and this is e.g. forced moving in (or in this case also kinda forced relationship). I wasn't also a big fan of how much blame was put onto Lucian's mother, how she was embarassed later in the book - this felt kinda too much. Small note - I feel like all the series' epilogues are very badly edited and have mistakes đŸ«  Overall, I did enjoy the book. It had it flaws, but it's not a type of book I expect to take out life lessons from. It's supposed to be relaxing and unwinding after stressing out most of the day, and it does its job 🙂 Will read some more of the author for sure 😊
