I won't even tell you

From New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry , I Can't Even Tell You is a radiant and funny novel about a woman and a man who are opposites—but have the wrong thing in common.

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé, Peter, told their story. How they met (on a windy day), fell in love (because of a wandering hat), and returned to his lakeside hometown to start their life together. He was so good at telling it all... until the moment he realized he was in love with his childhood best friend, Petra.

This is how Daphne begins her new story: trapped in the beautiful little town of Waning Bay, Michigan, with no friends or family, but with her dream job as a children's librarian (which barely pays the bills) and living in the apartment of the only person who can understand her situation, Petra's ex, Miles Nowak.

Disheveled and chaotic—and with a penchant for heartbreaking love songs—Miles is the exact opposite of the practical and self-effacing Daphne, whom her coworkers know so little about that they bet she's either FBI or in witness protection.

Daphne and Miles manage to avoid each other for the most part, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If that plan involves publishing suggestive photos of the two of them together on summer adventures, well... who can blame them?

But it's all an act, of course, because there's no way Daphne can start the new chapter of her life by falling in love with her ex-fiancé's current fiancée's ex... right?
