Description

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.

Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.

Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads —Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?

But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

Review this product
  • This review is about the cover: Soft

    Could I give less than 5 stars to the best Emily Henry books ever released? No, and this is a 6-star masterpiece that I will be thinking about for a long time!

    Imagine meeting the love of your life through a "funny story" where you date him in a forced proximity/best friends/roommates situation after your ex left you for his best friend, who happens to be your current roommate and his ex-girlfriend. Right, complicated, and so perfectly executed, cute, and romantic!

    Miles is already at the top of my book boyfriend list, and our protagonist Daphne was so relatable that I loved every thought in her mind. This is a wonderful, romantic book, and I don't even know why it took me so long to read it. I plan to reread it soon!

    Emily, you nailed it with this book and it stayed in our hearts! (I loved all your other books too ?)
