兩個分手的男女,是否能在朋友面前繼續裝情侶呢?
Harriet和Wyn從大學遇見對方那天起,在旁人眼中,就是一對天作之合的情侶,如同蜂蜜與紅茶一樣的絕配。直到某一天,兩人的關係忽然決裂了,原因連Harriet自己都不甚清楚。事發至今已經過了五個月,但他們兩個始終不敢告訴大學那群死黨們。這也導致眼前的尷尬局面—馬上要展開的年度緬因州之旅中,這對前情侶必須共用一間房間(而且是情人套房),因為一同出遊的好友們根本不知道他們分手了。
到這棟小屋裡散心,是這群好友的年度盛事。原本該是放鬆身心之旅,Harriet和Wyn卻被迫進入備戰狀態。因為渡假小屋面臨出售,這可能是這群好友彼此最後一趟的放縱旅程,他們哪能破壞大家的興致呢?Harriet和Wyn協議,要假扮情侶直到旅程結束,不過Harriet還對Wyn餘情未了,越是假裝恩愛,內心的掙扎就更強烈。曾經深愛過的兩人,要如何在最了解自己的朋友們面前,假裝彼此仍舊是對方的唯一呢?

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 new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.
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?
