4.5
I am generally fairly mid when it comes to Emily Henry (sweet, but not particularly resonant) and after hearing mixed reviews of Happy Place, I was on the fence. It did take some time to really connect with the characters and look past their overly saccharine, youthful way of relating to each other, but by halfway through, I was hooked.
What I loved most was not the romance (TBH there are much better second chance romances, like Seven Days in June) but the themes of friendship, of growth, of doing the shit that makes you happy and at peace -- your Happy Place, if you will -- really got me. The B plots are what gave this book a 4.5⭐ ranking.
