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?

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

In this charming and heartfelt new novel by the incredible Emily Henry, readers will me Daphne and Miles. Daphne, a children’s librarian, is stranded in a new city after her ex leaves her for his best friend. She needs a roommate, and Miles (who is the new girlfriend’s ex) and her decide to live together. The two are complete opposites but find they may be able to come together by posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together… Would their exes be jealous? And will all of this lead these two opposites to the realization that sometimes opposites do attract?

This is a great new novel and I read it in under 24 hours because I was so enamored with the story. I loved the characters (even the secondary characters), the wit, the banter, and the way these two finally came together. This is a fun read with the emotional undertones readers expect from her books too. I highly recommend it.
