MY RECENT 5 STAR READ

It’s no surprise that I rated yet another Emily Henry book 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This story was done so well!! I loved the two main characters and I especially enjoyed their romance arc. It didn’t feel rushed - it felt real!

As always, Emily Henry includes some life lessons and massive character growth which I really related to in this one. Definitely give a try especially if you’re in your early 20s!

I think my current Emily Henry ranking is:

1. Happy Place

2. Beach Read

3. Book Lovers

4. Funny Story

5. PPWMOV

What’s yours?!
