Two former rivals explore the tenuous line between loathing and lust when they are thrown back together over the course of one steamy summer in the Hamptons, in this tantalizing debut rom-com for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune, and Annabel Monaghan. 

Charlotte Parker is undeniably in a rut. Newly out of a long-term relationship, she’s also stalled out at her non-profit job and desperate for a change. So, when her coworker extends a last-minute invitation to join her at a friend’s cottage in the Hamptons for Memorial Day weekend, Charlotte sees her chance. What’s better than potential new friends, poolside drinks, and a long weekend in the sun to mix things up?

What Charlotte didn’t expect is that the “cottage” in question is more like a mansion, and her coworker’s friend is none other than Jacob Morgan—Charlotte’s former high school nemesis. But as one weekend turns into a summer, it becomes clear the Jacob is not nearly the same person he was a decade ago, and the anger Charlotte has carried for years may be dangerously close to something else. As the crackling tension between them grows, Charlotte begins to wonder: can a summer fling be the answer she’s been looking for? And if Charlotte can accept that even Jacob Morgan, of all people, has changed, could the same thing be true for her?

Emotionally rich and devastatingly sexy, People Like You is a fresh, incisive take on identity, reinvention, and the ways our past selves continue to shape our futures. Because sometimes one summer, and one person, can change everything.
