I got to the Emily Henry part and I am honestly laughing out loud to the freezer part. My entire life I've only had these low horizontal freezers so that's what I imagined while reading the book :D AND, while everyone might say that Beach Read is her best book, I will proudly say I think Book Lovers is the far superior Emily Henry book out of all the books she published!

I love the way Abby Jimenez writes the first part of of her romance books- the way they meet, flirt, write to each other ect, it makes me see that they actually have chemistry/feelings for each other, which then makes me root for them. Overall really fun reads. Love from Poland❤
