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&hellip,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&rsquo,s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra&rsquo,s ex, Miles Nowak. , Scruffy and chaotic&mdash,with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads&mdash,Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she&rsquo,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&rsquo,s all just for show, of course, because there&rsquo,s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé,&rsquo,s new fiancé,e&rsquo,s ex&hellip,right?
