I could not get enough of the dark, satirical humour infused into the narrative. Even though I was not laughing out loud, the shade and snark provided a constant stream of entertainment.

Vivid and easy to follow, I cannot find any faults with the writing style. Not only does Emily Henry create an adorable setting with Sunshine Falls, but her ability to capture feelings and actions with words brings her characters to life.
