INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! “The beach-read master hooks us
again.”—People Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by BuzzFeed ∙ Paste
Magazine ∙ Elle ∙ Southern Living ∙ SheReads ∙ Culturess ∙ Medium ∙ Her
Campus ∙ Readers Digest ∙ Zibby Mag and more! A couple who broke up months
ago pretend to still be together for their annual weeklong vacation with
their best friends in this glittering and wise new novel from #1 New York
Times bestselling author Emily Henry. Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect
couple since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper,
honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now—for reasons they’re still not
discussing—they don’t. They broke up five months ago. And still haven’t
told their best friends. Which is how they find themselves sharing a
bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly
getaway for the last decade. Their annual respite from the world, where for
one vibrant, blissful week they leave behind their daily lives; have
copious amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal
air with the people who understand them most. Only this year, Harriet and
Wyn are lying through their teeth while trying not to notice how
desperately they still want each other. Because the cottage is for sale and
this is the last week they’ll all have together in this place. They can’t
stand to break their friends’ hearts, and so they’ll play their parts.
Harriet will be the driven surgical resident who never starts a fight, and
Wyn will be the laid-back charmer who never lets the cracks show. It’s a
flawless plan (if you look at it from a great distance and through a pair
of sunscreen-smeared sunglasses). After years of being in love, how hard
can it be to fake it for one week…in front of those who know you best?
