Safe to say that Emily Henry has not disappointed yet again.
Happy Place is not just about the memories we have that are linked with locations, but also the people that we call home. I found myself relating so much to the sorrows and struggles of the main characters, both Harriet and Wyn. Emily Henry has really beautifully detailed a relationship where sometimes things go wrong, even if both people love each other.
What I really loved about this book was the focus on friendships and platonic love. Often times we tend to forget that love is not bound to romance, and this is an idea that is perpetuated by many romance writers. I am grateful that the satiety of having friends you can call your own 'happy place' is mentioned here.
