Daphne had always loved the way Peter, her fiancé, told their story. How they met, fell in love, and moved back to his lakeside hometown to start a life together. He was really good at explaining it... until she realized that he was actually in love with Petra, her childhood best friend. And so Daphne begins her new life: in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, far from her family and friends, but with an idyllic job as a children's librarian (which barely makes ends meet). So she considers sharing an apartment with the only person who might understand how she feels: Miles Nowak, Petra's ex-boyfriend. Scruffy, chaotic, and prone to listening to sad ballads for comfort, Miles is the complete opposite of the practical, discreet Daphne, so private about her personal life that her coworkers joke about whether she's in the FBI or a protected witness. The two new roommates mostly avoid each other, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they strike up a fragile friendship and hatch a plan. And if, in order to follow through on that plan, they have to share pictures of their summer adventures together--pictures that lead to the wrong conclusions--who could blame them? But Daphne is only doing it to be seen, of course, because she would never start a new chapter in her life by falling in love with her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend's ex-boyfriend... right?

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry comes a sparkling and stylish boxed set of the first three novels that started the phenomenon: Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, and Book Lovers.

People We Meet on Vacation Alex and Poppy are the best of friends, and every summer they have taken one glorious week of vacation together--until two years ago, when they ruined everything. Now, Poppy wants her best friend back and convinces Alex to go on one more trip together: one week to fix everything. Book Lovers A cutthroat literary agent agrees to accompany her sister on a trip to Sunshine Falls, NC, in order to become the heroine in her own story, only to keep bumping into the brooding editor from back in the city.

Two writers vie for the opportunity to narrate the captivating story of a woman with a complex past in this enchanting novel. Alice Scott, an optimistic dreamer, is eager for her big writing break, while Hayden Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize winner, exudes a brooding intensity. Both are on Little Crescent Island to write the biography of the elusive Margaret Ives, a tragic heiress and former tabloid sensation from a scandalous family. When Margaret invites them for a month-long trial to decide who will tell her story, Alice is determined to win her over. She believes her likable nature will help her connect with the legendary figure, and she hopes to impress her skeptical family with a significant publication. However, Hayden’s fierce demeanor suggests he views her as a serious rival, complicating matters. As they each receive only fragments of Margaret's story, bound by a strict NDA, the tension between them grows, revealing an unexpected connection. The unfolding narrative promises to be a blend of mystery, tragedy, and romance, shaped by the perspectives of both writers as they navigate their competition and the enigmatic tale of Margaret Ives.

This leads to an awkward situation as they share a bedroom at their friend group's beloved Maine cottage, a place they've cherished for a decade.
