What this book is about
Journalist Noa Calloway and novelist Miles Nowak both want the exclusive interview with Carla Dean, the reclusive heiress living alone on a private island off the Maine coast.

Emily Henry's latest romance weaves mystery, storytelling, and the push-pull of two people who can't stop sparring.
