Happy Place by Emily Henry

Back of the Book

Two exes. One pact.
Could this holiday change everything?

Harriet and Wyn are the perfect couple – they go together like bread and butter, gin and tonic, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Every year, they take a holiday from their lives to drink far too much wine with their favourite people in the world.

Except this year, they are lying through their teeth, because Harriet and Wyn broke up six months ago. And they still haven’t told anyone.

But the cottage is for sale so this is the last time they’ll all be here together. They can’t bear to break their best friends’ hearts so they’ll fake it for one more week.

But how can you pretend to be in love – and get away with it – in front of the people who know you best?

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Happy Place” by Emily Henry is like a cosy Sunday afternoon spent with good friends – comforting, entertaining, and filled with genuine moments.

I typically don’t delve into romance novels, but this one caught me off guard in the best possible way. Harriet and Wyn, the picture-perfect couple who are secretly exes, embark on their annual holiday with friends, pretending that everything is as harmonious as ever.

The story unfolds with a perfect blend of humour and heart. Emily Henry crafts characters so relatable that you feel like you’re part of their friend group, privy to both the laughter and the struggles. The situations they find themselves in are both amusing and endearing, making it a thoroughly enjoyable read.

The backdrop of the cottage being up for sale adds a layer of nostalgia, underscoring the transient nature of relationships. As the characters navigate the complexities of their feelings, the reader is treated to a genuine exploration of love, friendship, and the importance of being true to oneself.

“Happy Place” is a charming novel that doesn’t rely on dramatic twists or rollercoaster emotions. Instead, it’s a steady, heartwarming journey that leaves you with a warm glow. If you’re looking for a feel-good story that celebrates the beauty of everyday moments, this book is the perfect choice.
