I loved their dynamic from the start, and the romanticization of writing really got to me. I kind of want to go write a book now (previously, zero interest in writing btw).
The summer beach house vibes completely missed me though. Was it user error that I pictured snow the entire time?
Like genuinely, idk. Is it cause I just got off from Icebreakers? I swear, January only ever talked about shit being cold. And she said Michigan too, so it really doesn't help my perception. Michigan can't be cold. It bothered me the whole time, like why do I keep thinking it is hella cold.
Gods, I loved these two right from the start though. I knew he was a longtime yearner. A little sad puppy dog boy. And the fucking ch 17 quote I saved KILLED ME. Holy shit- Gus is really just a sad broken man that desperately needs some lovin.
Also, the fact their relationship withstood her writing frenzy. They say I love you after like 1 week, and then they goto one 1-hour timed sessions per day while she writes, lmao. Atleast they are both writers so I am sure they both get it.
I really thought when they went to go read on the beach for Gus' birthday, there would be some dedication in his book to propose. A surprise engagement party is hella dope though. Not for me. But January loves it I am sure.
So close to 5, but IDK maybe Emily Henry's writing is just slightly too flowery for me. We get lots of scene setting and such, but it goes over my head and apparently I misunderstand it anyways.
