""[She] writes with a singular wit, charm, and emotional complexity, every word just right, every page brimming with delicious tension."" — Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation
International bestseller Mhairi McFarlane delivers a sharp, emotional new novel about a woman who calls off her engagement to ""the perfect man"" and moves in with a charming stranger who makes her question everything about her life, her past, and the secrets she's kept for far too long...
Harriet Hatley is the most in-demand wedding photographer in town, but she doesn’t believe in romance, loathes the idea of marriage, and thinks chocolate fountains are an abomination. Which is why, when her long-time partner proposes, she panics. Suddenly Harriet is single… and living down the hall from her ex. She needs a new apartment, like, yesterday.
Enter Cal Clarke, a hopeless romantic who just experienced his own wedding-related disaster. Harriet and Cal are like chalk and cheese, but as they go from strangers to roommates to friends, it becomes clear they’re both running from something. When Harriet’s most heavily guarded secret comes to light, her world implodes. And Cal, with his witty humor and gentle advice, is a surprising source of calm at the center of the storm.
With her career, friendships, and reputation on the line, Harriet must finally face her past in order to take control of her future. Because if she’s willing to stop playing it safe and risk everything to share her truth, real love and happiness may be waiting on the other side...

Supermysig och genuint rolig bok som samtidigt tar upp tyngre ämnen om våld i nära relationer på ett bra sätt!

Bra bok, men jag har svårt att kalla den romantisk. Där är inslag av romantik men det är inte fokuset. Skulle det vara en film så skulle det vara ett drama. Kände med huvudrollen genom hela boken i ilska, förvirring, sorg och glädje.

Den känns väldigt obehaglig och mörk, men det är ju ändå en feelgood så det "tar sig". Å andra sidan ska väl innehållet, som är obehagligt i verkligheten, upplevas utan filter.

Good book, emotionally touching especially with the way it handled being in a emotionally ab*sive rs in a appropriate way. When it comes to the romance in this book it's very slow but still the book is very enjoyable.

I feel this book should be under drama and have a trigger warning of abuse. This is not a heartwarming love story but a heartbreaking story of abusive relationships with full blown gaslighting and narcissism. Very well described and I had to fast forward some of it bc of it being so triggering to my own ptsd from previous abusive experience. The focus is not on romance at all but on how to cope and move on and out of abuse. There is a side story of love but it’s not the main focus at all. Still a very good read but it’s not butterflies and roses at all.
