In this heartwarming romance, a couple who feels their relationship is deteriorating begins a flirtatious game of pretend that may just be the spark they need to reignite their relationship.
Book Synopsis
Eliza and Graham are anticipating an anything-but-sexy, weeklong getaway to celebrate their five-year anniversary. Nestled on the Northern California coastline, the resort prides itself on being a destination for those in love and those looking to find it. For Eliza and Graham, it might as well be a vacation with a roommate.
When a well-meaning guest mistakes Eliza and Graham for being single and introduces them at the hotel bar, they don’t correct him. Suddenly, they’re pretending to be perfect strangers and it’s unexpectedly…fun? Eliza and Graham find themselves flirting like it’s their first date, and waiting with butterflies in their stomach for the other to text back.
Everyone at the retreat can sense the electric chemistry between Eliza and Graham’s alter egos. But when their scintillating game of roleplaying ends, will they still feel the heat?
About the Authors
Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka met and fell in love in high school. Austin went on to graduate from Harvard, while Emily graduated from Princeton. Together, they are the authors of The Roughest Draft, as well as several novels about romance for teens. Now married, they live in Los Angeles, where they continue to take daily inspiration from their own love story.
Why I’m Excited
The Roughest Draft was one of my favorite romance last year, so I was beyond excited when I read about DO I KNOW YOU? (see my 2023 Most Anticipated Releases) because one of the things that Wibberley & Siegemund-Broka have excelled at in their adult romances is longing and tension, and Do I Know You showcases that indescribable yearning in spades.
Eliza and Graham want to work on their marriage – they haven’t fallen out of love with each other – their just are both facing their fears and insecurities to prove that they still love and support each other. I love love stories that give an honest look at the real struggles of relationship – and seeing your intense connection dull to a warm glow can be both still comforting, and somewhat concerning. All of these conflicting emotions – and more! – are explored in Do I Know You?
