I think this may be my new fave Emily Henry book ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Daphne and Miles have my whole heart.
Daphne has struggled to maintain friendships as she spent her whole life moving with her mom. It wasn’t until college that she made a lasting friendship. After her fiancé, Peter, runs off with his girl best friend Petra, Daphne is absolutely shattered. Daphne gets kicked out and ends up moving in with Petra’s now-ex, Miles. The two could not be more different— Daphne is a children’s librarian, whereas Miles works at a winery. Now, they are together in their grief.
When the two receive invitations to their exes wedding, they drunkenly rsvp yes. Peter calls Daphne the next day saying she doesn’t have to come if it’s too painful and she blurts out she has a boyfriend… and that boyfriend just so happens to be Miles. The two decide to fake date and Miles shows Daphne around the town she’s lived in, but never really made her own.
As the two begin to spend more time together, Daphne realizes that Miles can talk to just about anyone and he’s a fantastic chef. He seems to have a person for everything— from cherries to strawberries to cheese.
