I‘ve had varying opinions about Emily Henry‘s rom-coms. I loved Beach Read, but subsequent books have all been light picks. The setting and premise had a lot of potential, but the execution on the central plot device (a couple pretends they haven‘t broken up so as not to complicate their friends‘ elopement) increasingly strained credulity as the book developed. The career decision the FMC makes at the end of the book caused me actual anger.
