Happy Place

Product Information

harriet or should I say harry 😃 Harriet *deep sigh* I was rooting for u girl, we were all rooting for u. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Only this year, Harriet and Wyn are lying through their teeth while trying not to notice how desperately they still want each other. How is it possible to sum up your feelings on a book that you were sure wouldn’t be for you, but ended up being a guaranteed top read of the year instead? she puts other peoples needs and feelings before her own to keep the peace, the way she has an inability to show others her emotions, especially during the break up bc she fears she will be a burden really hit close to home.

They have to act like they're still together and pretend happiness and such just to not causing chaos. Every single portion of this book is a hard earned happily ever after, which is just the way I like it. I’m sure we all have a happy place where the weight of the world lifts off your shoulders when there. the way she was the “problem solver” and the one that always tries to bring everyone together and has this desperate need to keep everything the same. Sabrina's father owns a lake house in Knott's Harbor, and the trio has been spending the week of Lobster Fest there ever since graduation.their entire journey was one i felt super invested in from the beginning and was rooting for them every step of the way. like you think you can promise the universe something and prevent the inevitable but of course you can’t.

Fizzing with romance, wit and characters to fall head over heels for, Happy Place is a gloriously feelgood novel of fake relationships and awkward holidays from the bestselling author of Book Lovers and Beach Read. for me, i love when found families and friend groups in books make me laugh with them, it helps me see their bond. I understand why he broke it off which even made sense and I don’t blame him for that, but the way he went about it was so frustrating and selfish.Harriet and Wyn are the perfect couple - they go together like bread and butter, gin and tonic, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Also not him acting shady and smiling at his phone for 70% of the book and making her think he already has a girlfriend, just for the big reveal to be that he makes tables for a living 😃 YES TABLES. Which is how they end up sharing a bedroom at the cottage that has been their yearly getaway with their best friends for the past decade. I have seen a lot of complaints that the plot is based around miscommunication and if only the couple had just sat down and talked things over then there wouldn't be an issue.

wyn’s dad dying was a sort of superficial wound because it was an external circumstance/dent in their relationship. My enjoyment of Emily Henry's novels is hardly a secret and so I was excited to receive the opportunity to read her new novel 'Happy Place', coming out April 2023. Wyn made the decision for the relationship without talking to Harriet and never really understood that. Was it only long distance, did one of them cheat, or is there any crucial, life-changing reason that tore them apart? The only reason it's 4 stars and not 5 is that it did take me a bit to get into the romance plotline (not knowing the breakup reason for so long frustrated me), and I felt the pacing could be a bit quicker in the middle, but I LOVED the last 100 pages so so so much.Easier than breathing, because breathing is something you can overthink, to the point that you forget how your lungs work and get yourself into a panic. The found family aspect represented belonging in a way that I think we all want to experience, with people who just know and accept you at your core.
