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 fiancĆ© 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 itā¦right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.
Ā
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 childrenās librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petraās ex, Miles Nowak.
Ā
Scruffy and chaoticāwith a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love balladsāMiles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that sheās 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?
Ā
But itās all just for show, of course, because thereās no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancĆ©ās new fiancĆ©eās exā¦right?
