I love the concept of a personal “happy place” — somewhere you can escape the stress and constraints of everyday life and feel completely at ease.

Reading Happy Place was like falling in love five times a day. With each chapter, I grew more and more in love with these characters. Many favorite destinations have several things in common like stunning landscapes and intriguing activities: Having an emotional connection with nature can help reduce mental ailments such as anxiety, anger, and aggressiveness — not to mention the physical benefits of being in nature, like increased activity and exposure to vitamin D.Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.* Emily Henry strikes again. She has managed to rip open my chest to look at all my insecurities and inner thoughts and then decided to put them on paper for the world to see. I want to say more but it hurts too much to think about. Rightmove’s study also found that people living in coastal villages tended to be the happiest group in the study. Place attachment refers to the cognitive-emotional connection between a person and a physical place, and this “relationship” has many benefits. Daryll Digpal, managing director at Beadnall Copley in Harrogate, said the area “boasts a thriving high street with many international retail brands, a booming hospitality industry and excellent state and private schools”.

Available in sizes small, medium and now also in size large!!! They are short so be prepared to show some leg! Model is 5’8”. Size large is 4” longer. Size medium is 1.5” longer. I'm so grateful that Emily approaches the subject of being an adult without knowing your passion/purpose and the uncertainty of being an adult. I made a playlist of songs that I listened to whilst reading, you can find it here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7BoKGGvs9LXQMMqoN5e1iX?si=r4cf6dTbRtuAr1HNUhXOdQ (Taylor Swift is heavily featured, obviously).At this point in time, Emily Henry can do no wrong, I loved everything I read by her and this one is no exception.

I laughed and I cried with this book and I felt like I was right there with Harriet, feeling what she was feeling, the entire time. It was beautiful, and the devotion Wyn and Harriet have with each other was the perfect addiction you read Henry's novels to escape to. But this is a town that values its green spaces too. It has several lush parks and nature reserves – including Dunham Massey, which is home to a variety of wildlife (including deer) and stunning landscapes. Barry and I lived in the North End of Boston for a year, on the same street where Rose Kennedy was born and with a view of the Old North Church from the bedroom window of our 5-story walkup. On October weekends, we’d take the train out of the city to one of the nearby small New England towns with their iconic village squares and white-steepled churches, like historic Lincoln and Concord, home of Thoreau’s Walden Pond. We’d cycle from one town to another on quiet roads, passing furious crimson and gold trees. Forty years later, I love living part-time in Guanajuato, and the rest of the year near California’s Avenue of the Giants, with its ancient redwoods, but every October I daydream wistfully of those auburn and russet New England leaves. Barry Evans 5. Pembrokeshire Coast, WalesAs usual, Emily Henry writes characters we could actually find in our own lives, we all know a Wyn or an Harriet, we all had a group of friends like the one in this novel, they even feel like family at the end of the book, it is a beautiful story about love wether it is friendship, romance or found family. And although this is very much their story, it also about growing up, about understanding that dreams change, that plans are interchangeable, that you can grow apart from people you love, that it’s difficult to live up to expectations, that is painful to find yourself and to please people as you understand more and more about yourself. Because it’s set apart from the rest of Wales by the Menai Strait, Anglesey can feel like a country of its own – though the Menai Suspension bridge makes for easy travel between the two areas. At Tulane, I majored in Communications/Linguistics, but my informal major was the city itself. New Orleans was where I discovered it was possible to fall in love with a physical environment. Riding the “Freret Jet,” the city bus that meandered from the Tulane campus to the French Quarter, and the St. Charles streetcar (only 5 cents a ride!), I was mesmerized by the street names. As the trolley rumbled along, I’d roll the musical consonants and vowels around my tongue: Dryades. Carondelet. Napoleon . Evenings, I’d stretch out on the rug of my dorm room studying my city map. Prytania, Annunciation, Tchoupitoulas, Piety, Esplanade, Fontainebleau, Frenchmen, and, of course, Louisa. With every word I could feel Harriets heartbreak as if it was my own. I ached for her when she saw Wyn for the first time, I struggled with her when she realised it would be even harder to walk away from him at the end of the trip and I mourned with her when it became clear that sometimes our parents don't always give us love in the form we need.

Small is 54” long from shoulder seam. Emmy is 5’6 1/2 and wears a small. Susan is 5’3 and wears a medium. This book is comfort and tension and complex and truth and love and hope all rolled into one and I cannot recommend it enough. Taking the top spot is St Ives – and it’s been here many times before, with the last time being in 2020.The study found that more than two-thirds (69%) of people who had moved in the last year relocated to a different area. Nearly two-thirds of these people (64%) reported feeling happier where they now live. Worcester is a culturally rich city, with several historic buildings, museums, and art galleries – including the Worcester Art Museum, which is home to 38,000 works of art. The city also has a strong literary connection. It’s the birthplace of the composer Edward Elgar and the setting of many of the works of the poet William Shakespeare. Monmouth has also been named the UK’s first Bee Town, following their excellent work on making the town a better place for pollinators to live. In the words of Gus Everrett, Henry manages to “make[s] the world seem brighter, and the people in it a little braver.” I have a sneaky suspicion that this book will be even better upon a reread and am very much looking forward to April 25th. Finland has been named the happiest country in the world for the fifth year in a row. Here: in a ... [+] snowy forest in Koli National Park. getty
