Sometimes all the love in the world doesn’t equal a happy ending. And aching as I hoped they would find their way back to each other, desperate to know what really had gone wrong, and if it was fixable. Because she had me falling in love with these two as they fell in love the first time. Henry has convinced me otherwise.Īnd she did it twice.
Or I’m not sold the connection is enough to weather future conflicts and go through everything all over again.
Mostly because the author does too good a job convincing me the couple was right to break up the first time. Second-chance romance is rarely my cup of tea. Thank you to Viking Books for the review copy. “Love means constantly saying you’re sorry, and then doing better.” Don’t expect ease and laughter, brace for tension and angst. This offering felt quite different to her other romances but equally as great. I love that Emily Henry doesn’t write to a personal formula. I devoured this book over two days and there was so much substance to pick over. Harriet was all about the people pleasing but she lacked insight into herself. There was a bucket load of baggage from family, childhood and pressurised expectations. I could figuratively feel the unease in Harriet about a bunch of things, Wyn included. The MCs Harriet and Wyn were truly likeable but fathoming what the heck was going on with these two was difficult. Sabrina was a tough one to like but the others were easier to bond with. I feel like this bunch of friends had grown and changed but they felt the need to pretend they were still as they were a decade ago.
The story immersed the reader in found family but that family was hitting the dysfunctional buttons pretty hard for all sorts of reasons.
This was one hell of an angsty read, the type where you close the book to breathe a bit and then get the courage to open it again. I really like what Emily Henry did with this novel, we started with the difficult and pretty much stayed there for a lot of the book. The cottage is for sale, and since they can’t bear to break their best friends’ hearts, they’ll fake it for one more week.īut how can you pretend to be in love – and get away with it – in front of the people who know you best?īrimming with characters you can’t help but fall for and off-the-charts chemistry, HAPPY PLACE is Emily Henry doing what she does best!įormat : Physical ARC / eBook (overdrive) And they still haven’t told anyone.īut this is the last time they’ll all be together here. Harriet and Wyn are the perfect couple – they go together like bread and butter, gin and tonic, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.Įvery year for the past decade, they have run away from their lives to drink far too much wine and soak up the sea air with their favourite people in the world.Įxcept this year, they are lying through their teeth.
