About this listen

""[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...

Light and fun

Enjoyed it, tho not quite as much as her other books. It lacked the intensity of some of the others, which made it a nice easy read but also a bit less memorable.

Mhairi is my favorite

I’ve read every MM book and love them all. She has this unique ability to make you feel every possible emotion and finish the book with more food for thought than you could ever digest. So thoughtful, smart, and suspenseful. The narrator was good too.

TW: domestic abuse, gaslighting.

Loved it!

I have loved all of her books. The perfect mix of a lighthearted read, while having depth to the characters and making you think about life. Sad for it to end.

Not much romance. Sad content.

I loved her previous books. This one was disappointing. The main character was hard to relate to. There was heavy focus throughout on negative experiences and difficult emotions. The romance was a small part, it felt rushed, and there was a lack of chemistry building. If the negative/positive content ratio were flipped, it would be more like her other books and way more pleasant to get through.

Very on brand! ❤️

I love this. Like other books from Mhairi McFarlane, I love that this main story revolves around Harriet facing a larger issue in her life, and it forces her to heal herself and deal with many surrounding problems. All with the undercurrent of a blossoming romance. This author always has a way of making me laugh and cry in the same book! These really make me think about the way I see and tackle problems in my own life. Very well done! The voice actress did a great job too! Very quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

Is this a romance? Regardless: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found this book to be more of a woman finding herself after a bad relationship and less of a romance. Overall, it’s a great story and had me wondering what the outcome on the conflict was going to be. It’s got some teary moments which shows how emotionally invested I was in how this was going to end. Overall, 5 ⭐️’s and I highly recommend.
