How hard could it be to stay in the same room, touching and kissing your ex in front of others when you are still harboring your unresolved feelings?

That was what made me the angriest, with both of us.” I did find myself wishing that Harriett would stand up for herself a bit more though and I also felt the issues her friends had hindered the story. He can't fathom that all my love for him didn't just vanish, the way his did for me. That it had to go somewhere, and funneling it into anger is how I've managed to make it through these last two days. It makes me feel alone. It makes me feel defeated". to me, wyn was very absent from the book. especially in the “real life” chapters. he’s harriet’s fixation, but i don’t really feel like i know him. despite seeing how they got together, i still didn’t feel connected to his character. i wanted more from him. i enjoyed him more at the beginning when they were younger and everything was fresh between them, but this didn’t translate the whole way through. i get what he was going through at the end, but his character still felt very one dimensional to me. wyn is a sexy lamp.

Every year, they take a holiday from their lives to drink far too much wine with their favourite people in the world.

Except, now—for reasons they’re still not discussing—they don’t.

Harriet and Wyn are the perfect couple - they go together like bread and butter, gin and tonic, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Like he can’t fathom that all my love for him didn’t just vanish, the way his did for me. That it had to go somewhere, and funneling it into anger is how I’ve managed to make it through these last two days.

the past chapters are shown to be harriet’s “ happy place” which is when her time is spent at a cottage in maine — an annual trip she takes with her boyfriend and best friends. i love a slut era as much as the next person but there’s a reason a slut era isn’t about finding love- Just in time for summer, Henry’s latest rom-com is a charming, heartwarming read about second-chance romance.” i sit on the edge of the bed, feeling the loneliness swell, not knowing whether it's pressing against me from the outside or growing from within. either way, it's inescapable, my oldest companion.”

i knew what was gonna come, i knew it. but nothing could've prepared me for the pain. reading about their breakup is some different kind of pain i never want to experience ever again.

Tender and sexy, bittersweet with Henry’s trademark warmth, this is a book that sweeps you off your feet and envelopes you with love in its many facets – it feels like hanging out with your best friends’ – Bolu Babalola my eyes were rolling. if that old wives tale about the wind is true, i’d be so blind rn i wouldn’t have been able to finish reading the book. harriet and i mirror each other in so many ways, and reading it in words across a book made me feel so seen and comforted.I wanted to be special, Harriet,” he says. “And since I wasn’t, I settled for trying to make everyone love me. I know how ridiculous that sounds, but it’s true. I spent my whole life chasing things and people who could make me feel like I mattered." this book isn’t for people who only want to read about romance, it’s also mostly about friendship and i thought it was such a beautiful aspect in this book. i see myself a lot in those characters, being scared that my friend group will fall apart since everyone is building their own life, going their own way, moving to another city. it is important to understand that not everything will stay the same, that we won’t love the same things we did a couple of years ago and that it’s okay to change. and i think EH did a wonderful job to represent that. He's a golden boy. I'm a girl whose life has been drawn in shades of gray. I try not to love him. I really try." I also felt nothing, nor empathy, sadness, pity or whatever towards any of these characters or their problems and relationships.
