why i picked up an emily henry book

it’s time… i’ve been convinced i’ve been persuaded and i am diving into the world of emily henry books

it is kinda funny, i picked up this book because of rumors of ayo edebiri being casted as a lead in the upcoming film adaptation of this book and i truly just wanted to cover my bases just in case 😅

i know there’s multiple adaptations in the works, but i was like hey if you give me a romance w ayo in it ill be there, and decided it was time to put my money where my mouth is and pick up the book!!!

have you read it? how do you like emily henry?
