Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
A shimmering, joyful novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times and Sunday 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?

Another brilliant romance from Emily Henry.
Emily Henry writes the wittiest, most romantic stories on the planet. Again she has made me laugh and cry with her signature style and totally relatable characters. Miles and Daphne are the perfect foil for one another and the supporting cast are great. I really felt their every emotion, their highs and lows and their vulnerabilities.
I'm not going to go into the plot - I don't want to put spoilers in but this is another original love story with the so much more that
Emily Henry injects. I loved it. I lived it.
Julia Whelan as usual is the perfect narrator.

Another Emily Henry brilliant book
I love this author and this book didn’t disappoint. I listened to within 24hours of its release.
It’s a small town love story, with complex themes of family drama and getting over past relationships.
As with all all Emily Henry sometimes the narrative is overly reflective but overall the story sweeps you away. Great cast of characters.

I laughed and I cried
Great story, lots of humour but also touched on some childhood trauma and how it impacts adults
