Happy Place
by Emily Henry
Honestly, at this point I’ve been diving blindly into the world of Emily Henry. I have never been one to enjoy romance novels but this woman has changed my perception of it. The stories are slightly cliched and yet I can’t stop loving them. Happy Place too is one such love story where two people drift apart only to come back together. The characters are absolutely adorable and the romance is heartwarming. I don’t understand how Emily does it every time but she makes me fall in love with the idea of love each time I read her book.
Wyn and Harry find themselves at their friend’s summer cottage having to pretend to be together despite being broken up for months. This facade goes on for a few days while they struggle to keep up with their emotions of being close to each other. There’s obviously a lot of love between the two but the complications weigh more than the history that they have had. They are surrounded by endearing people who support and love each other unconditionally. During their stay, we see Wyn and Harry navigating through their relationship and although we all know how it’d eventually end, it’s hard not to cheer them on.
I love how Emily delicately describes what it takes to have a successful relationship and in Happy Place, she addresses the issue of miscommunication between the two protagonists. There’s so much to learn from her books about how it should feel like to be in a safe and healthy relationship. And kudos to her for being so witty! I have always loved the funny and smart exchanges between her characters and I think this book carried some of the most wonderful dialogues ever. I’m pretty sure she can turn anyone into a sweet mush through her stories.
Happy Place definitely made me happy. And apart from my own love story I think Wyn and Harry’s might be my favourite tale :)
