“Happy Place” by Emily Henry

For the last decade a cottage in Maine has been the yearly escape for Harriet, Wyn and their friends turned family. However, this will be their last as the cottage is being sold and the threat of life and their friendships never being the same is felt by all. No one is feeling it more than Harriet and Wyn forced to put on the perfect show so their friends don’t figure out that the happy couple broke up six months ago but couldn’t bring themselves to tell their friends. Not wanting to ruin their last vacation together Harriet and Wyn decide to pretend to still love each other for one week. After years of being in love it shouldn’t be that hard, right? I have loved everything in Emily Henry’s current catalog and “Happy Place” is no exception. A contender for my favorite Henry book “Happy Place” was so hard to put down. I loved the dual timelines that gave you insight on how Wyn and Harriet came to be mixed with present day at their happy place in Maine. (One of my personal happy places as well!) This book will give you all the feels and is the perfect summer read. (Also, now I need a lobster roll ASAP!)
