A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.
Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.
Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.
Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?
But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

5By shokerszAlthough I only read the sample of the book because I am too broke to buy it, it was soooooooooooo good. First few chapters and I was hooked, their personalities, their situation, their chances of getting to know each other and be friends (or maybe even lovers 😏) is just sooooo intriguing. It’s a 100/10 bruh. Read it and support the author Cz I swear it’s so good 😫😖Funny Story
5By Phi1235Really enjoyed this book especially how the characters were fleshed out and came alive. Very good read.Emily Henry’s flopping real bad
1By Honolulu viperUsed to enjoy her books but ever since she’s started being hyped by booktok, her books has started becoming a flop mess.These are books that help me through the long dark night.
5By 5612053I look forward to an Emily Henry book release day as a big deal. Something I literally can’t put down and wraps me up in a comfort of quirky characters you love, a fantastic sense of place-the Traverse City area is one of my favorites and described so well. Emily writes thematically of families we make-what I call -“my tribe”. I come from a very small family and have a small wonderful family of my own but never knew joys of insta large parties at every holiday. I have created my own families throughout my life-of people I choose to be with and who love me-from all parts of life. I think that’s why Emily Henry books resonate with me so well. You will love this book.
