But Rachel's carefully controlled life spirals out of control when she and Darcy's fiancé, Dex, end up in bed together after her birthday party. Ever since law school, Rachel assumed her love for Dex was one-sided, but it turns out he has been pining for her too. Kroll, Justin (2023-04-05).

However, Harriet and Wyn’s love story didn’t feel as earned as the romances in Henry’s other novels. Because the narrative relied heavily on the tensions of their fake dating and shared past, the chemistry between them did not have time to mature and develop. While in previous Henry novels, the witty banter between the characters serves to introduce the tension and personalities, the banter between Harriet and Wyn as they fake a happy relationship for their friends felt out of place. Their slow burn romance did not feel like something that had to be earned, and therefore the Happily Ever After, while satisfying, did not feel as deserved. Harriet and Wyn are the perfect couple - they go together like bread and butter, gin and tonic, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.Film adaptations of Henry's first three adult novels are currently in the works. In October 2022, a film adaptation of People We Meet on Vacation by Sony's 3000 Pictures from a screenplay by Yulin Kuang was announced, with Brett Haley directing and Temple Hill producing. [9] On March 28, 2023, a film adaptation of Book Lovers by the production company Tango was announced, with Sarah Heyward attached to write the script. [10] One week later, on April 5, it was announced that Kuang would also write and direct a film adaptation of Beach Read for 20th Century. [11] Bibliography [ edit ]
