If only the last 1/3 was the whole book

I love Emily Henry and have devoured all her books. So it pains me to say that I didn’t love this book. I was so disappointed. It’s not a romcom. I found myself during long stretches about Margaret so bored and wishing we could just get to Hayden and Alice. I didn’t think Margaret’s story was interesting at all- a mix of Evelyn Hugo and Princess Diana. I hope we can back to the witty banter and slow burn romances she’s so great at for the next book.

I liked the first 2 books but this one gave me an ick. I get what these books are about and it’s not literary genius. However, Asa’s aggressive and manipulative behavior was textbook abuse. I just couldn’t get there. I think there was a good story here and would have been ok for him to listen to his partner, give her actual space when asked, support her going to therapy, allow her to maintain privacy on her own phone, and not use sex as a way to gain compliance without it taking away from what makes the book steamy.

I loved this series and read both in about 2 days. The plot is rich and the attention to the nuance in story lines was wonderful. My only complaint is that after awhile the repetition of miscommunication and assuming one didn’t love the other sprinkled with negative self talk was grating. And I stopped counting how many times one of them got caught and then saved just in the nick of time by someone implausibly showing up. Still, it was worth the read.

Like the other books, this one had a lot of repetition. The whole first half isn’t necessary. The 2nd half is really good but I find the narrator’s frantic, snarky portrayal grating after awhile. The ending. What in the world? So disappointing!!

Excellent narration. Incredible story. I loved hearing the story based on the real Martha Ballard. I hope there will be more!

Really interesting and normalizing a lot of things. I listened on 1.25 speed so the music was unbearable after awhile. Otherwise great!

The narrator was great. The story is wonderful and could be told taking out about 1/3 of the repetition. It just dragged on too long. But otherwise I enjoyed it.

Fun and the performances were excellent. Consumed it in 2 days- couldn’t stop listening to it.

I was so excited for this book as the first in the series was so good. But Kai in book 1 and Kai in book 2 are totally different. 1 is suave and debonair and 2 is pretentious and cloying. The “r’s” just take it over the edge. So disappointing and I hate to say he ruined it because he’s a human being and I don’t want to be mean but he ruined it for me.

This was everything I needed it to be, made better by the narration of Meryl Streep. And now I need all my books read by her until forever.
