Thoughts: This was my first Emily Henry book that I have read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I adored Daphne and Miles and how a challenging situation brought them together. The unfolding of their relationship and its progression was delightful. I also loved both the female and male main characters. If you enjoy single POV, fake relationships, roommates-to-lovers, found family, and forced proximity, this book is a must-read!

Synopsis: 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 actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiance's new fiancee's ex . . . right?
