Selected as one of the most highly anticipated books of 2024 by TIME, The New York Times, Goodreads, Entertainment Weekly, Today. com, Paste, SheReads, BookPage, Woman's World, The Nerd Daily, and other notable sources! A new novel full of shimmering joy, featuring two opposites who share an unexpected commonality, penned by best-selling author Emily Henry. Daphne adored how Peter narrated their tale, from their chance meeting (during stormy weather) and developing affection (thanks to a lost hat) to relocating to his lakeside childhood town to start their life together. He excelled at recounting it all. . . until he acknowledged his true feelings for his longtime friend Petra. Starting her new narrative is Daphne, finding herself marooned in the picturesque Waning Bay, Michigan. She lacks companionship from loved ones but holds onto a fulfilling role as a children’s librarian (which hardly covers her expenses). In a bold move, she suggests sharing a living space with the sole individual who might empathize with her situation: Petra’s former partner, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and disordered, finding comfort in heart-wrenching love songs, Miles is the complete opposite of the orderly and reserved Daphne. Daphne's colleagues are clueless about her, speculating whether she works for the FBI or is under witness protection. The roommates usually keep their distance until they bond over shared misery one day, leading to a fragile friendship and a risky scheme. And if that plan includes sharing misleading photos of their summer escapades, who could fault them? However, it's purely a façade since it's highly unlikely that Daphne would embark on a new journey by developing feelings for her ex-fiancé's former fiancée's ex-partner, isn't it?
