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 funny story indeed

I found myself shouting out loud at Daphne . What a fun book. Rollercoaster of emotions. Was not quite sure how it would end. A lovely read. Thank you.

Loved it!

It accompanied me on my commutes to work and I got lost in it. The narrating was excellent!

didnt want to put it down

Loved this story, the characters really came too life, The emotional journeys felt real and their experiences vivid. Made me think about my own life experiences and relationships in a new way.

Julia Whelan brings this alive.

This is the first Emily Henry book that I actually really enjoyed. It was narrated by Julia Whelan and she really nails it. Her narration is amazing. The story was good, with both the main characters with things from their past that put a bit of a spanner in the works, preventing a straight forward romance. I will only try another Emily Henry book if Julia Whelan narrates it!

Super cute story

Enjoyed this read more than I thought I would. Not particularly exciting, a fairly regular story but I felt connected to and invested in the characters and the dialogue felt very real and down to earth. Really enjoyed the narration
