PRAISE FOR DO I KNOW YOU?:

“Many authors can write compellingly about falling in love…but it takes a deft hand (or two, in this case) to write compellingly about staying in love.  Luckily, we have Wibbroka, who have crafted a novel about marriage that is honest to the bone, refreshing, and — like a long-term relationship — deliciously surprising.”—Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Wish You Were Here

"Do I Know You? shows the pure magic of that pivotal moment when two people make the choice to fight for each other. This book is more than a story of a marriage in trouble. It's the story of a spark rekindled and the new flames deliver all the warmth you could want in a novel. Full of humor and heart, Do I Know You? had me in my feelings!"—Denise Williams, author of The Fastest Way to Fall

“Do I Know You? offers the fresh twist on a marriage in crisis that I didn't know I needed! Wibbroka does it again with a magnetically raw and intimate portrayal of where love begins, fades, and begins again. Flirty, sweeping, and hopeful, readers will clutch their chests and root for Eliza and Graham until the very last page.”—Amy Lea, author of Set on You

"Reading Wibberley and Siegemund-Broka's prose is like sliding into the crisp sheets of a luxury hotel bed. Do I Know You? is such an inventive take on a 'marriage in trouble' story, showing the fragility that can sometimes hide behind familiarity. By the end, I cared about the fate of Eliza and Graham's relationship like I knew them personally."—Alicia Thompson, national bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

“Readers won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough.”—Publishers Weekly

THE STORY:

Eliza and Graham’s marriage is quietly failing, and they find themselves on a weeklong getaway intended for their five-year anniversary. 

When they are introduced as strangers at the hotel bar, instead of correcting the well-meaning guest, they find themselves… enjoying the act? 

They flirt like it’s their first date and share pillow talk secrets like they haven’t been sharing a bed for the past five years. 

The two decide to spend the rest of the week as strangers, creating alter egos who embrace the parts of themselves they thought were lost. 

Their chemistry is palpable and everyone at the retreat can see—this game of pretend that may just be the spark they need to reignite their relationship.
