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?

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a fun adventure of how a couple came together through some relatable and unrelatable twist and turns. This is a book I will probably end up reading again in a few of years because I miss the characters.
Both my sister and I read this and loved it! Emily Henry does a great job writing the fake relationship trope here and infuses it with humor and heart. Plus, there’s a great B-plot about adult friendships and community that’s so endearing.
What an amazing funny, heart wrenching book. As an Emily Henry fan I can gladly tell you this has to be one of her best book so far!
Loved it! I was rooting for them for the beginning and kept me on my toes on what to expect. Nothing better than the smell of a book store
I just finished this book and it gave me the feels. This is the second book I've read by this author and I just get absorbed in the stories. I love rom-coms, but there's nothing worth watching anymore, so its been nice to read something good.
