Happy Place by Emily Henry

5.0

Emily Henry know what the girlies want and she continues to deliver. Happy Place, is I suppose a second chance romance, with a bit fake dating and dare I say guy falls harder.

Exhibit A of why I loved this book - Wyn:

Quote 1: “In every universe, it’s you for me. Even if it not me for you.”
Quote 2: “You are my periodic table.”
Quote 3: “There was noting bigger than you. Not to me. Not ever.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be written by Emily Henry if the characters weren’t so relatable and immersive. Every single character made you fall in love with them; made you root for them. From Cleo and Kimmy, to Sabrina and Parth, no side character was unimportant or overtly prominent, there’s a perfect balance between the main relationship and the relationships of and with the characters around them. I also loved the representation of mental health, lesbian relationships and parental pressure, and doing something you want to do, even if it doesn’t make any sense.

Happy Place gave me Sweet Home Alabama vibes where you know that two people belong together and Wyn and Harriet belong together.

I can’t even say too much because I don’t want to spoil anything but please read this book, you won’t be disappointed

Thank you to Emily Henry, Penguin and Net Galley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
