Opis

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR & GLOBAL TIK TOK SENSATION, EMILY HENRY 'One of my favourite authors' COLLEEN HOOVER, It Ends With Us 'Emily knows how to craft a love story like the all-time greats' TAYLOR JENKINS REID, Daisy Jones and The Six ----- 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 ----- PRAISE FOR EMILY HENRY 'The master of witty repartee' Daily Mail 'I've loved every single one of her books more than the previous' Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis 'The book that you just know all the girls are going to be reading by the side of the pool this summer...

4.25 ☆'sI quite enjoy a fake dating trope and with the title, went into this expecting a bit of a light hearted read (cancelled wedding aside!) What I hadn't prepared for was being swept up in the emotions of the story. The heartfelt found family friendships, Daphne's love of her job role and the extra effort she goes to for all the kids, the hurt and disappointment both Miles Jules and Daphne have had with regards to family, and the way they learn and grow as individuals throughout the book. There were several aspects of the book that really hit home for me personally and seeing the characters process these things and grow from them was reassuring. There were also several moments where I couldn't help but laugh and many more that made me smile. I think this is probably one of my favourite books by this author.

Pretty darn good

🗣️2.9 stars💬I liked this book, but it wasn't exceptional -- I could have missed out on this book and be perfectly fine with it (which is why I've already forgotten some of the plot...).🫰Emily Henry's writing and pacing is beautiful. I loved her dialogue and banter.👌For me, personally I didn't like the drug mention (I definitely understand that some people liked it, and that's okay, but it wasn't it for me).👎The plot was slightly repetitive and boring at times, so it took me a while to get through.
