The dazzling new love story and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick from the TikTok sensation and
Sunday Times bestselling author of Beach Read and Funny Story. AN INSTANT NUMBER ONE SUNDAY
TIMES BESTSELLER! ' Emily knows how to craft a love story like the all-time greats' -- Taylor
Jenkins Reid bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo 'A new Emily Henry
novel is an event ushering in longer days and promises of summer' The Skinny ----- When
Margaret Ives the famously reclusive heiress invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the
balmy Little Crescent Island Alice knows this is it: her big break. And even more rare: a
chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication. The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning
human thundercloud Hayden Anderson is sure of the same thing. The proposal? A one-month
trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th
Century after which she'll choose who'll tell her story. The problem? Margaret is only giving
each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they can't put together because of an ironclad NDA and
an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they're in the same room. And it's
becoming abundantly clear that their story - just like the tale Margaret's spinning - could be
a mystery tragedy or love ballad ... depending on who's telling it. ----- 'With a
delicious slow-burn romance a perfectly grumpy hero and a setting that comes to life this
one checked all my boxes' -- Laurie Gilmore bestselling author of The Pumpkin Spice Cafe '
One of my favourite authors ' -- Colleen Hoover bestselling author of It Ends With Us ' I've

Nobody writes chemistry like Emily Henry' . -- Beth O'Leary bestselling author of The Flat
