Emily Henry is my newest automatic-buy author . . . the perfect getaway: a heartfelt, funny, tender escape that you wish could last forever

A gorgeous romance, full of sexual tension and tantalizing possibility. I fell head over heels for Alex and Poppy, and loved travelling all over the world with them both

The hottest book of the summer - the pages simply sizzle!

The ideal getaway for those who wish to travel without leaving the house!

A funny, quirky and addictive read - if you loved When Harry Met Sally, you're going to fall for these two. We did!

A gorgeous page-turner of a novel that provided the perfect escapist romp

Funny, and seriously sizzling

Clever and funny, this is a tender love story

This sizzling love story had us on the edge of our deckchairs!

Exuberant wit, hilarious badinage and enough sexual tension to cause the vicar to unbutton her dog collar

The epitome of a summer novel... perfect for these long, (mostly) sunny days

Full of vacation magic underpinned with the importance of home

Emily Henry's writing is succulent and addictive, making this a novel that is sweetly charming from start to finish, filled with yearning and tension. Above all though Henry allows space for authenticity, the characters have very real struggles and challenges to undergo - Poppy is at a roadblock in her career. It is this that makes the novel so engaging, as it feels immensely real and immediate. This is the perfect summer read and we can't recommend it enough
