A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong
thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.
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?
Daphne + Miles
Daphne should be on her honeymoon with Peter now.
But things went wrong somewhere.
And now she's stuck in Peter's little hometown. Living in a tiny apartment with Miles. Who is the ex of Peter's new girlfriend Petra.
Daphne and Miles are both grieving what they lost. They're sad and teary most days and nights. But then P+P's wedding invitation comes in the mail. And they're so RSVPing to that thing. And not only that ... why should Daphne and Miles sit around at home all sad and mopey? Let's start to live again! Let's start having fun again...
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO DAPHNE + MILES?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺
Adorable!
Such a sweet book.
It starts all sad and grievy for Daphne and Miles. But then they start to get to know each other and things get better. Daphne starts to like the town and the people. She's not counting down the days until she can leave anymore.
Miles is so much more than what she always thought - or what Peter told her about him.
Daphne's job at the library is her absolute dream job. She starts making friends. She starts having her own life. Not the WE-life she had with Peter, where it was always only about him.
I just loved reading this.
Daphne and Miles are so perfect for each other. Both so broken and sad. And both not really ready for anything new. But at the same time so ready for their very own amazing happily ever after.
It was a really great book. Great cast of people. Great location. Just a very beautiful story!
I need to see this as a movie one day!
FUNNY STORY was such a sweet and adorable and funny love story. Run to your nearest book dealer for your own Miles - he'll be sold out in no time! ☺
