It's rare that I rate a book as a 5, but I think this one truly deserves it. This is my 3rd Emily Henry read and I've been impressed every single time. This one might be my favorite so far.

I love her characters. They are snarky, funny, and perfectly imperfect. She makes you want to root for January and Gus and leaves you wanting more of them at the end.

This book was steamy, but not gratuitous. It's emotional in all the best ways and the flaws if the characters is what makes you root for them. They aren't trying to fix one another, but rather so them in a different more positive light.

If you're new to Emily Henry, I think this would be a perfect first read.

After a slow 3rd book in the series, this 4th installment feels like a return to form and a breath of fresh air. I still feel like there was too much minutiae, and everything moved much too quickly to take it all in. Although, I really enjoyed the pacing and overall tone of this one. You can tell that things are really only just now getting started, and Carl, Donut, and the other crawlers are in for much, much worse. Overall, I really enjoyed this one and will reread the series at some point to pick up on other things I might have missed.

This Dungeon Crawler book was a bit more of a slog than the first two. It felt clunky and convoluted in a way that the first two weren't. However, I am still enjoying the series. The first two were fantastic, and I'm confident the next three will keep me entertained.

My advice is to just power through and try not to think about all the minutiae while reading.
