Daphne got her dream job as a children's librarian when she moved halfway across the country to a small town in Michigan, where Peter, her fiancė, wanted to move, to be back near his family. It's just a few weeks from their wedding when Peter breaks their engagement ‒ he realizes he is in love with his best friend from childhood, Petra. Daphne is devastated. Petra's boyfriend, Miles, is devastated as well, and Daphne ends up moving into his apartment because she needs a place to live. In a moment of drunkenness, they RSVP that they're coming to Peter and Petra's wedding. They even decide to pretend that they're now dating.
There's some friend drama, too, when Daphne realizes that she doesn't really have any friends that weren't Peter's friends.
There's family drama, as well. Daphne's dad left her and her mom when she was small, and she learned that she couldn't count on him. These trust issues spill into how she handles her relationship with Miles.
At the beginning of the book, Daphne is counting the days before she can leave Michigan. Will she follow through, or will she find out she can stay on her own terms?
