I liked this book a great summer or holiday read.
I did find the ending quite rushed, the build up was so good that it was disappointing that everything was resolved so quickly.

♡ Second Chance

♡ Fake Relationship

♡ Summer Vacation

Seriously such a perfect summer read for sure.  It had all the wholesome friendship vibes combined with such detailed background history.  I loved the t-shirts the main character and her friends had in college, truly iconic.

The humor was 10/10, deadpan as ever and I’m here for it.  The miscommunication trope did play into this book a bit and I actually didn’t mind it as much as I usually do.  I liked how things worked out in the end.  While there were a few sad moments this book was fairly lighthearted and enjoyable, plus it had a happy ending so that helped a lot too.

So cute and captivating. I love these characters. I love how the side characters weren’t even side characters, but they had lives and personalities of their own. A story about (mis)communication, growing up, and always finding a place where you belong with the people you love.

For a book called 'Happy Place,' I spent most of it in shambles.

As a people-pleasing daughter, this felt almost too real. 

There is so much grief in this book: from holding onto post-graduate friendships for dear life to realizing you can outgrow yourself. It left me feeling homesick for a place I’ve never been to, and a person I’ve never known.

Emily Henry delivers with her usual humor, chemistry, and banter with this one. I always feel like I'm there beside the characters in her books from the way she describes everything. I'm seriously craving the smell and feel of sunscreen and ocean water and the smell and taste of buttery lobster thanks to this read!

While not dissimilar to her other books, this one is a second chance romance and has a different feel and tension to it because of that dynamic. Harriet and Wyn are stuck together because of the group vacation and because the years of their relationship have led to a friend group that's venn diagram is just a circle. They are navigating the ramifications of their breakup for themselves and how it complicates things for everyone around them. All this while an old group of friends tries to live out their glory days for the last trip to their go-to spot ever and are all dealing with their own separate issues. 

This book realistically address the challenges of a relationship where you grow up together and friendships where you grow up together. If you aren't careful, you can grow apart entirely. 

I also really felt for the main character in her struggles with her career and her future - I have certainly been there before myself. It was just another relatable and realistic aspect in this one.

Difficult to get into. Limited insight into the cause of the conflict until the resolution, creating limited sympathy for any characters.
