I have resisted the Emily Henry hype for a while and what a mistake that was! This book was such a beautiful adventure with characters that were so human they were mostly frustrating (only half joking). Romances always have a bit of flare to them that do make them sweet but very unlikely to play out the way they do, Happy Place feels like a real story, and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end I honestly wasn't sure they would end up together until the last two chapters . I think my favorite part of this book is that's its a love story, but not only between Wyn and Harriet, but also between all of the ones that make up their Happy Place. It touches up on friends that become family and does so beautifully.
PS : Wyn manages to be super self-deprecating whilst also being extremely hot, so props to the writer for that I guess.
