I hated this book. Partially because I went into it expecting something completely different (I blame the US title vs the UK one), but also just ..these two characters I just found annoying. I'm all for friends to lovers but my god.

It's strange the author blew up because her books are really hit or miss for me. and I read a lot of shitty chic lit. Maybe she is popular because it seems like there is no real general consensus on her books.

You're right about no general consensus-- what's interesting to me about Emily Henry fans is that everyone has a different favorite book. I think she's popular because she scratches a lot of different trope itches for people and she's great at banter. I dislike most of her tertiary characters (especially Happy Place and Book Lovers) and it makes me wonder if she has a lot of toxic friendships which makes her keep writing about them.

I don't get the hate, tbh. She's a pulitizer prize winner compared to all of the booktok recommended garbage I've read

This is my least favorite EH book. Both the lead characters are annoying and their vacations are boring. I see people saying it's their favorite EH book and I'm just scratching my head.

Funny Story and Book People are much better to me, in every way. I also didn't like Beach Read. She's very hit or miss.

I stopped it around 20% and just deleted it from my kindle. The characters, the writing, the narrative... my god, just garbage.

I was just telling yami_no_hoshi that I seem to like every other book of hers. And even that might be generous.

But when she hits for me, she hits!

I feel the same way. I LOVED Funny Story and Book Lovers and didn't like Happy Place or Beach Read.

I'm waiting to get a copy of Funny Story from the library, but I hope it'll be the same for me. Beach Read is my least favorite and Book Lovers is definitely my favorite.
