Telling a story

How far will you go to get revenge on your ex? Daphne met Peter as she was rushing headlong after her hat, drifting in the wind (until she hit a garbage can). Peter liked to dust off the hilarious story at every opportunity, and Daphne had no doubt that he would include it in their wedding vows. But the groom's bachelor party took a fatal turn: Peter returned from it with the discovery that he loved his best friend Petra, with whom he grew up side by side. Daphne has to move out of her fiancé's house and start a new life in the coastal town where she has moved to be with him. Help comes unexpectedly from Miles, Petra's ex-boyfriend, who has a spare room in the apartment, plus an understanding heart. Daphne finds solace in her dream job as a librarian, but beyond that she feels lost and friendless in Waning Bay. And then she and Miles get invitations to Peter and Petra's wedding. Shocked, Daphne not only nods that she will attend the ceremony, but also tells Peter that she is dating Miles. It's the best way to show the traitor that she's moved on. if it were true. Winner of the 2024 Goodreads Choice Awards in the Best Romance category from a New York Times bestselling author! "Reliable bestselling author Emily Henry has written another guaranteed hit, which is dramatic, sexy and fun." - Kirkus Reviews "Another great book by Emily Henry with distinctive characters, a compelling love story, plus the irresistible hero Miles." - The Indiependent I was hoping, that I'll stay awake long enough, to put a glass of water and an ibuprofen in Peter's hand when he got home, but instead, I fell asleep on the couch. When I awoke with a jerk at the click of the front door, the living room was already flooded with bright light. Peter was obviously surprised to see me there. Frankly, he looked like someone who'd stumbled upon a woman who'd broken into his house and cooked his pet rabbit, not a loving fiancée curled up on the sofa. And yet, my head still hasn't started ringing. - excerpt from the book
