Shout out to Bookstagram for proving me wrong with this one! I said I would never read another Emily Henry book after how truly boring Beach Read was. I’m so glad I picked up Happy Place. Harriet and Wyn’s relationship began with the two sneaking around behind their friends’ backs, and it unfortunately ended the same way. Told before and after their breakup, Henry writes the past in a way that will have you wondering what possibly could have gone wrong between Harriet and Wyn. These two are truly meant to be together. She also conveys an important message: you can’t simply coast through life, making decisions in order to please others; you have to live for you.
While it took me forever to finish because some of the chapters were 10+ pages long, I am glad I persevered. If you also enjoyed this book, check out Christina Lauren’s Something Wilder.
“‘I’d rather have you five days a year than anyone else all the time. I’d rather argue with you than not talk, and whether we’re together or we’re not, I’m yours, so let’s be together, Harriet. As much as we can. As long as we can. As soon as we can. Everything else, we’ll figure out later.’”

Emily Henry keeps getting better and better. Her stories are so full of love in all forms, and Happy Place was no different. The found family was so strong, and I loved all six of our main cast.
I honestly don’t know what to say about this book other than it Mae me feel so seen in so many different ways. I loved it. Read it. 5 stars.
