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

Identified and empathised with the main character. Very well done, believable and flawed, and surprisingly humorous. People on the train must have wondered as I laughed.

Sweet story, with twists. Intertwined relationships that eventually end up the way they should. Great performance, and the characters are so well presented that it’s so easy to imagine them as real people.

This novel was a delight. The performer/narrator was excellent and really made me feel like I was there. The storyline was sweet, but had surprising depth and the themes of childhood trauma, divorce and recovery formed a really therapeutic but real sub plot. Also, loved the characters!

Narration 5 stars; Story is a delight
