Happy Place by Emily Henry

4.0

I liked it. I found it a lot more emotional than her previous ones that were more of a fun read ( for me at least). This one, had a lot of ups and downs of a relationship, how your childhood trauma can impact said relationship and much more. I got teary once or twice throughout. After the 2/3 of the books I started figuring out how both the protagonists trauma had led to their breakout. It was a lot of miscommunication of absence of communication all together per say. I liked the then and now timelines because we actually get to see them falling in love and falling apart! I also liked the kind of fake dating trope there was going on although I was feeling somewhat awkward cause they were actually broken up and especially in the beginning there were some hard feelings on both sides and I could've felt the tension and awkwardness if i was in her place. I would have loved to have a few point of views from his perspective but I guess then it would have kind of spoiled the whole miscommunication dunno. Spice wise it was pretty vanilla with a few details here and there.
