💕We laughed, we swooned, we ranted … and now we’re closing out our Emily Henry era in peak chaotic fashion — by ranking all our book boyfriends from the EH universe. From broody beach-house neighbors to our favorite sweethearts, no fictional man is safe from our very “official” madness bracket.

We’re also spilling our favorite romance tropes (forced proximity! rivals-to-lovers! small-town meet-cutes!) and giving shout-outs to the side characters who low-key stole the show. If you’ve ever debated who rules the EH multiverse — Augustus Everett, Charlie Lastra, Wyn Connor — this one’s for you.

Whether you’re a Beach Read babe, a Happy Place stan, or still daydreaming about People We Meet on Vacation, come giggle, swoon, and over-analyze with us as we send off the queen of contemporary romance herself.
