Loved this departure from Emily Henry's usual romantic comedy slant. The historical-fiction-esque back story was captivating and devastating. It left me rooting for the characters IN THE PAST to make it through a seriously challenged family history, while also rooting for the present-day characters to realize they loved each other. Plus there were seedy midnight dinners at diners - so the book obviously has my vote.
