A review by mikkaxo
Happy Place by Emily Henry
3.0
Harriet and Wyn are living separate lives after calling off their engagement months earlier. The annual friend holiday has come around and they haven’t told any of their friends about the breakup so they agree only one of them will go on the trip. Sabrina, trip organiser and owner of the holiday house, also has a secret. They are selling the house and it’s the last trip they’ll have there together. She has convinced Wyn to attend and now they have to pretend for a week that they are still together. But is it pushing the other friendships further apart. Secrets are revealed as the pressure cooker explodes.
I really wanted to love this as so many people rave about Emily Henry and this was my first book by her, but I just didn’t. Fair dues I am not a huge romance reader and have only just started getting in to it but something just fell short for me. I didn’t love any of the characters, they were all quiet annoying and made me lose interest easily. I normally love a super cheesy cliche but this one just missed the mark. I found myself not wanting to pick up the book and that’s a big sign for me. I know people will love this book, it’s still well written and I would still recommend it for romance lovers, unfortunately this one just wasn’t for me this time and that’s okay.
