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 fianc 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 itright 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 childrens librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petras ex, Miles Nowak.

Scruffy and chaoticwith 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 shes 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 its all just for show, of course, because theres no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancs new fiances exright

Reviews

Bestseller Henry takes on fake-dating in this equally poignant and charming tale of love after loss Henry perfectly balances sorrow and discord with love and humor, and romance fans will appreciate watching the growth of the characters relationships and of Daphne as a person. This is a heartwarming take on summer love.
