typically, authors put all their thought into the main characters, leaving the side characters lacking and suffering. but not emily henry !! she creates characters that feel genuine and tangible, including side characters. i liked how happy place tackled the message of relationships growing and evolving over time, leading to people drifting from each other due to new changes in life. it's such a common issue that every person has. the friendship dynamic is definitely what kept me hooked. romance wise, besides the tropes, i just wasn't FULLY feeling it. i loved our fmc, but i personally felt the mmc was lacking for me in that department. i can't really put my finger on what i didn't like about him but it's still good otherwise.

As the younger sister who craves parental acceptance and as an extrovert who is forced to be an introvert, this book hit so close to home. So many things that Harriet felt about her home life are things that I struggle with too. The fear of losing your friends so you just push them away to get it over with is also so close to home.
I can't thank EmHen enough for writing this and for me being able to read it during a chapter of my life where I needed it most.

I enjoy Emily Henry books. This was good and I enjoyed reading it. I think Henry's books follow the same trope - the characters not talking and accepted their assumptions despite it being oblivious to others.
