Summary
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ 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 novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.

“The beach-read master hooks us again.'—People

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?

Favorite book I have read in a while!

Profile Avatar Karen H. May 2023

Another fantastic book by Emily Henry. As always, the narration is spot on and you are quickly woven into the lives of the characters. A really nice read.

It was disappointing- difficult to get through- usually like this author - too much detail about nothing

Profile Avatar Deb P. Jul 2023

Good story line but way too drawn out and repetitive too long

Profile Avatar Inga M. Sep 2023

Super slow read, immature and very unlikeable characters

Profile Avatar Kristen L. Sep 2023

I liked this story a lot. This author just doesn't disappoint. Of course, it helps to have Julia Whelan narrate your stories, my favorite narrator. Henry changes up her stories enough so as to keep them interesting, and Whelan always knows just the right voice for each and every character.

The narrator’s impersonations of the characters’ voices majorly interfered with my ability to be invested with this book. Just read, don’t act out! Apart from that most of the characters just seemed immature to me and that a lot of the drama in the book could’ve been avoided if they’d just been honest with each other (why not, if they’re the best friends they all claim to be).

Profile Avatar Kari F. Jul 2023

Very slow and anticlimactic. Narrator did an excellent job.

Profile Avatar Eileen F. Jun 2023

Could not finish..So bad

Great read!

Emily Henry delivers yet another perfect book.

Profile Avatar Jerrica Apr 2025

I liked this book.

Profile Avatar Charissa S. Feb 2025

All of the characters were whitty and likeable. The reason for the main characters to be apart was weak and drawn out especially in the end.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2025

Love!

Profile Avatar Kuya Ansel Dec 2024

nice and awesome

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2024

Easy story, good characters. A little slow at times and a bit predictable but I enjoyed the listen.

Profile Avatar Lisa Sep 2024

Slow to start, but by the last half was good and I wanted to find out how it was going to end. It kept me guessing.

Profile Avatar Selena S. Jul 2024

Can’t stop thinking about it! I loved it!

Profile Avatar Makinnsy M. Jun 2024

Loved it! I couldn’t stop listening! It had me laughing, crying, and giddy!! I think I’m becoming an Emily Henry fan!

Profile Avatar Michelle S. Jun 2024

I loved it! Another great Emily Henry book with incredible narration by the fabulous Julia Whelan.

Profile Avatar The KKB Apr 2024

Narrator was amazing, as always! But the plot and the book was awful, and I usually love Emily Henry!

Profile Avatar Jessica MAZICH Mar 2024

I really liked this story

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2024

I think I have read all EH books and they are all super but this was my favorite! Highly recommend.

Profile Avatar Jade D. Dec 2023

Awesome! I did listen to it at a faster speed though! Loved this story <3

Profile Avatar Susan M. Dec 2023

Predictable and slow

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2023

I already had high hopes for this book because of the reviews. Honesty, I wasn’t sold on it until about half way through. Now omg it’s probably my favorite of her books! If you’re like me and we’re iffy in the first-half- KEEP GOING!

Profile Avatar Bethany C. Aug 2023

I really like Emily Henry's books and I especially like the narrator of her audio books. I liked this story but it felt a little too long- I was ready for it to wrap up with about 2 hours left in the audiobook. So it is not my favorite of hers but still enjoyable.

Profile Avatar Rebecca B. Aug 2023

This was an “okay” book… it wasn’t my favorite but was horrible.

Profile Avatar Danielle M. Aug 2023

I love Emily Henry, but this wasn't my favorite of her titles. The narrator is terrible. The way she voices the male characters is ridiculous and like nails on a chalkboard.

Profile Avatar Sondra W. Aug 2023

Sappy wordy predictable. Love Julia her narrations is wonderful. The main character is pathetic and windy

Profile Avatar Vicki K. Jul 2023

Another great Emily Henry book! It had its usual heart and humor. And you can’t go wrong when Julia Whelan narrates! It’s the perfect summer read! Emily Henry is my “Happy Place!”

Profile Avatar Laura H. Jul 2023

I really liked the characters, but thought all the descriptions of the friendships/relationships was a bit heavy handed.

Profile Avatar Emmeiet L. Jul 2023

Love it

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2023

Hated it lol just probably wasn’t for me.

Profile Avatar Jacobi B. Jun 2023

Its cool

Profile Avatar Linda S. Jun 2023

Plot was predictable and main character was trite, whiny and very annoying.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

Her best book so far. Very enjoyable

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

It’s good

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

Amazing insight to what we think makes us happy to what is real!

Profile Avatar Kristin M. Jun 2023

The book could have easily been 3 hours less. There were way too many sexual tension scenes and not enough character development. Nice story overall but way too slow.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2023

I enjoyed it!! I love the narrator too!

Profile Avatar Sarah T. May 2023

Cute story. But the narration makes me want to vomit.
