The irony is that I ordered this book for a Christmas gift for my daughter and she gave me a copy as well. It is my first Emily Henry book, but it won’t be my last. Following Poppy and Alex’s story was marvelous, adventurous and heart wrenching. The willingness and the work it takes to truly accept the person you love and who is your true home is written so well in this book. In a relationship you both have to choose to continue to uncover what truly binds you and to nurture that love and that connection. Loved this book!!
