Summary
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ A shimmering, joyful novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2024

Named a Must-Read Book of 2024 by TIME ∙ NPR ∙ ELLE ∙ Parade ∙ Woman’s World and more!

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?

Reading this book surely would’ve been nice. But listening to it: wow! I loved the story, the characters and the narration. More please!!

Really cute story and I always love the characters Emily brings to life. I finished this in 2 days.

Profile Avatar Jennifer D. Jul 2024

Great story with good characters. Such a fun read.

Profile Avatar Taylor H. Mar 2025

The story line was thoughtful and interesting. The author does such a good job bringing nuance to characters! The narrator was nice to listen to and made the characters come to life.

Profile Avatar Mikayah O. Jan 2025

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. The characters breathe life into this storyline in a way that you almost forget you’re not part of it. While it is a longer listen, it’s essential not to glaze over any of the essential details.

Such a fun surprise. Emily Henry has a unique voice, humorous and real. I’ve just purchased another book for a gift. I’m older, one might say, so if you are a baby boomer don’t hesitate to read this boos. I laughed out loud frequently,?and fully appreciated her ability to write true characters with real emotions and reactions. The narrator, too, was absolutely excellent, adding to my enjoyment of this book I’ll be reading more of hers!

So predictable and boring. I know I’m in the minority but I just don’t like her books. This one was slightly better than Book Lovers. It might make a better Sunday afternoon movie.

I really enjoyed this book. Emily Henry never disappoints.

Very predictable, but fun and heartwarming.

A fun read

Profile Avatar Cassandra R. Mar 2026

Excellent book - loved the narration, characters, and unexpected twists! Excellent descriptions that made it feel so real. One narrator expressed so many characters - exceptionally well done!

Profile Avatar Camron G. Feb 2026

I think it was a pretty good story there’s those romance misunderstandings that you either love or hate but feel natural with the singular point of view of the main character. The narrator’s use of voices do make each character feel recognizable in a good way

❤️

Profile Avatar Hay L. Feb 2026

one of the best rom com style novels I've read. Emily henry is always great but this one was her best. daphne felt relatable and miles was just a dream guy.

Really enjoyed this book

Profile Avatar Mireya C. May 2025

This is the second book of Emily Henry that I have listened to. I love Emily's writing. She makes you feel so connected with the female protagonist. This story is cute, messy & keeps you on your toes. Had i actually read the book wouldn't have done it justice, so the audio version really made it feel live. Definitely recommend for a fun read. (Also her other book Great Big Beautiful Life) Now on to the next!

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2025

Really enjoyed this book!

Profile Avatar EddaB Mar 2025

Not very well written nor read

Profile Avatar Arlene F. Mar 2025

The narrator makes this book!!

Profile Avatar Diane D. Mar 2025

I couldn’t even finish it. One of the most boring books I’ve ever listened to, and the narrator’s voice was also boring. This might be okay if you’re age 16-23, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else.

Profile Avatar moncs Feb 2025

My favorite Emily Henry book so far. Anyone who has been to the U.P. in MI will be able to clearly identify the scenery as described, it took me back to happy vacation memories. Really enjoyed the characters in this book.

Profile Avatar Tara K. Dec 2024

Way too long! If you have nothing better to do then sure give it a listen but it was just way too long and just meh! I did a lot of eye rolling waiting for it to be over.
