A review by joanna1905
Happy Place by Emily Henry
3.0
**3.75**
This was my first Emily Henry and I wasn't disappointed - it was an easy read and very enjoyable. I liked Harriet and Wyn as leads and I particularly liked Harriet's growth throughout the story. It had a lot of the components I like (exs to lovers, forced proximity, sharing a room, fake dating) and was well executed but it still felt like something was missing... I'm not sure if it was something in the plot or perhaps the writing but it just felt like it fell a bit short of being a four-star read.
I almost wish it didn't flick between the past and present as much - simply because I was so invested in the present I found myself racing through the past chapters to get to the next present. however, this is also a sign of how invested I was in the story.
I'll definitely be picking up some more of her books because I'd be interested to see how they compare.
