From New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry comes a dazzling and heartwarming novel about two unlikely roommates brought together by heartbreak.

Daphne loved the way her fiancé, Peter, told their love story—how they met on a windy day, fell for each other over a misplaced hat, and moved to his picturesque hometown to start their life together. That is, until Peter realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend, Petra.

Now, Daphne is left to rewrite her own story—stranded in charming Waning Bay, Michigan, with no close friends or family, a dream job as a children’s librarian that barely covers the bills, and only one person who truly understands her situation: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.

Miles is Daphne’s complete opposite—disorganized, free-spirited, and always lost in melancholic love songs—while she’s polished, reserved, and so private that her coworkers joke she must be in witness protection. Initially, they keep their distance, but after an unexpected bonding moment, they strike up an unconventional friendship…and a plan.

A plan that just happens to involve posting misleadingly cozy photos of their summer adventures. But it’s all just for show, right? Because there’s no way Daphne could actually fall for her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…could she?
