A Couple Divided months ago pretend they're still in love and enjoy their annual week-long vacation together with their closest friends in this brilliant and wise new novel from the #1 bestselling author New York. York Times Emily Henry.
Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college - they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and hotcakes.Except now – for reasons they haven't discussed – they don't do it anymore.
They've been broken up for five months. And they still haven't told their closest friends.
That's how they found themselves sharing a room in the Maine cottage that's been their group of friends' annual getaway for the past decade. Their annual getaway from the world, where, for a week of excitement and happiness, they leave everyday life behind; consume large amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal air with the people who know them best.Just this year, Harriet and Wyn lie while trying not to notice how much they desire each other. Because the bungalow is for sale and this is the last week they will be together in this place. They cannot bear to break their friends' hearts and so they will play their part. Harriet would be the energetic surgical resident who never puts up a fight, and Wyn would be the laid-back charmer who never shows cracks. It's a perfect photo (if you look at it from afar and through a pair of sunscreen-coated sunglasses).Is it difficult to love each other for many years and pretend for a week... in front of the people who know you best?
