About the book
Daphne is dumped by her fiancé who realizes he's in love with his childhood best friend Petra — leaving Daphne stranded in a small Michigan lakeside town with Petra's ex, the charming mess Miles. Two total opposites become unlikely roommates, then something more.
What I thought
A warm, witty romcom with real emotional weight underneath. Emily Henry does that thing where the banter is sharp but the ache is real — you laugh out loud one page and get quietly moved the next. Perfect summer read that stays with you long after the last page.
My verdict
A feel-good, sharp, tender romance.
