4/5

January&Gus, Alex&Poppy, Charlie&Nora in one short story? You damn well know I'm going to love it. And yes, I was smiling so hard I almost broke my jaw.

“What?” I say.
“Nothing,” he says, with a one-armed shrug. He draws the back of my hand to his mouth and presses his lips against it. “I just like you.”

This was the crossover of the Emily Henry rom-com universe I didn’t know I needed after finishing Book Lovers.

Also, “You’re going to be a mom?” “Gus, you do realize it’s yours, right?” had me cackling at 2 AM LMAOOO

after reading this somehow I’ve become worse

[Grace (the seventh crow) · Rating 5 out of 5]

emily henry core is crying tears of literal happiness over a 1 page epilogue.

[Sam · Rating 5 out of 5]

the single greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. this is my peak

[jolie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sometimes he does this still, even now, years into our relationship, where his eyes get so focused and dark it feels like he’s looking straight into my veins, and whatever else is happening outside my body has dissolved, inconsequential as mist.

Like I am the only solid thing in the world. And it feels like such an honor, to be solid for him, to exist with him in moments when nothing else does.

it’s amazing how words on a paper (or in this case, words on a screen) can make you cry. ms emily henry really outdid herself by creating a hole in my heart dedicated to these characters.

the emily henry literary universe is something that can be so personal

GUS AND JANUARY ARE MY HAPPY PLACE

[Sabrina · Rating 4 out of 5]

“He smiles at me, says nothing. Sometimes he does this still, even now, years into our relationship, where his eyes get so focused and dark it feels like he’s looking straight into my veins, and whatever else is happening outside my body has dissolved, inconsequential as mist.”

“Gus gives me a bemused look. “What?” I say. “Nothing,” he says, with a one-armed shrug. He draws the back of my hand to his mouth and presses his lips against it. “I just like you.” Sometimes, maybe not every day, but sometimes, I still get that weightless flutter under my breastbone when he says things like this. No matter how many years we pass together, I don’t think I’ll ever forget how lucky I am to have found someone who not only loves me as much as I love him but likes me too. “I like you back,” I say. “I had a feeling.” 😂

“I mean, I don’t feel okay at all, I feel like my heart is going to break my ribs, but I’m happy. January, I’m so fucking happy.”

Someone tell Emily to include this in the movie 😭🥹 that was so damn adorable that it left me squealing
