wyn is such a pos, you can't convince me this man loved her for a single sec, they were together for almost 10 years and he broke up with her over the phone? note: i’ve always liked emily henry because she hasn’t fallen into the traps of other contemporary romance authors of trying to make inside jokes with all the so cute stuff that happens *gag* but unfortunately it started to happen here. Plus you get flashbacks of Wyn’s very alive and healthy parents and then in the present his dad is dead and mother has Parkinson’s.

I've worked so fucking hard on myself these last five months, Harriet, and I'm doing well" up until this point I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, I told myself that he was probably as miserable but this was the 4th time he asked if she's happy TOO. I tried not to think of her as a doormat even tho she clearly was one bc she was about to become a freaking NEUROSURGEON !The pacing of this book, the alternating timelines, the character development, the relationships were all beautifully and expertly written. It made me dislike Wyn idc he was too insecure and it being “it wasn’t you it’s me” is just something that I viscerally hate so much.

I mean, the title of the book is Happy Place, the cover is so cute and summer vibes, but don't let that fool you, this book was gut wrenching.

weirdly, i still don’t believe that he and harriet fully understand the reason that they broke up or they didn’t work out. Both these timelines allowed us to truly get to know our characters deeply, when life brought out the best in them as well as when life wasn’t working in their favour. This book deserves every bit of hype that it has and will receive, and it gives me a glimmer of hope that I can still find that magical feeling of finding a new book that becomes a part of your soul, one that you carry with you on the rest of your journey here on earth and becomes part of your personality on a permanent basis. there’s this unique connection i get from emily henry’s writing style that at this point should be studied. literally the PINING in this omg and the ANGSTTT and the pain, my poor lil heart couldn’t take it all.

Happy Place by Emily Henry | Goodreads

I decided to give Emily Henry another chance after Beach Read, which I did not finish because it was bad in my opinion.harriet or should I say harry 😃 Harriet *deep sigh* I was rooting for u girl, we were all rooting for u. My best friends taught me a new kind of quiet, the peaceful stillness of knowing one another so well you don't need to fill the space. I will admit it was a little confusing when the story went back in time because you never really knew when and where they were, if that makes any sense. i think this book had a lot of potential, but i’m not the biggest fan of the way it was executed—hence my conflicting feelings. We get a glimpse of Harriet and Wyn when they first met, and how this group of best friends grew up together.
