The Vibe

Daphne's fiancé dumped her — for his childhood best friend. Now Daphne is unexpectedly roommates with that best friend's equally-dumped ex. Miles is her polar opposite in every way. He's chaotic, she's controlled. He makes everything a story, she's still writing her own. What starts as a survival pact becomes something neither saw coming.

How this guide was built

Every Sort By Cravings guide is written after a full read-through — not scraped from publisher blurbs or Amazon summaries. We map tropes directly from the text, cross-reference BookTok and Goodreads reader reactions across 500+ community posts, and calibrate heat ratings against reader consensus before publishing. Mood tags, spice numbers, and “skip if” notes reflect actual reading experience. Read our editorial standards.
