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?
