FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR & GLOBAL TIK TOK SENSATION, EMILY HENRY


Daphne always loved the way Peter told their story. That is until it became the prologue to his actual love story with his childhood bestie, Petra.

Which is how Daphne ends up rooming with her total opposite and the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra's ex, Miles.

As expected, it’s not a match made in heaven – that is until one night, while tossing back tequilas, they form a plan.

And if it involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their adventures together, well, who could blame them?

But it’s all just for show, of course.

Because there’s no way Daphne would start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex . . . right?

A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Emily Henry

A sweet story in a nice setting, mostly easy listening, just what I wanted as a bedtime story. Basically, it's a typical tale of disappointed love and the inevitable encounter with a soul mate who, despite his tough exterior, turns out to be Prince Charming. However, here and there the book has unexpected depth. For my taste, there was too much "she said - he said" in the text, which annoyed me after a while. But overall I enjoyed it and the narrator has a good voice, which is important to me.
