Description

He's a golden boy. I'm a girl whose life has been drawn in shades of gray. I try not to love him. I really try." Also, I did not like the supporting characters- I could not care less about what Sabrina, Parth or Cleo did or wanted. Sabrina, Cleo and Harriet made a good trio but again, I couldn't careless about them. forced proximity, second chance, fake dating.. full of tension and angst. there’s just something about past lovers that makes me so anxious but like in a good way you know. I considered giving this 3/5 at one point but the more I think about it the more it makes me rage. I'll have to split this into parts cause I had an issue with almost everything and anything !!! this is the last EH book I'll ever read so if u see me reading any of her new releases, ill fly out to the UK so u can beat the shit out me 🫶🏻 I also felt nothing, nor empathy, sadness, pity or whatever towards any of these characters or their problems and relationships.

How is it possible to sum up your feelings on a book that you were sure wouldn’t be for you, but ended up being a guaranteed top read of the year instead? Let me explain. ctr: the way the title is literally HAPPY PLACE but everyone is sobbing and sad IS MAKING ME HELLA SCARED🥲Social media, cause tell me why I thought of wyn the second I saw someone selling their tables on tinder?? Anyways has no one noticed how he distanced himself from her after he met martin? the one time she didn't coddle him when ppl were making him feel insecure? He was clearly waiting for a way out. ALSO, SHE SAID SHE SLEPT WITH SOMEONE AND HE DIDN'T GET JEALOUS or react in any other way ???? His response was "Look at me, I am yours", more like "i am yours to coddle🥺". I'll stop here even tho I could write a book with all the reasons why I hate this man <3 A heart-tugging tale that captures the importance of found family, the pain of growing apart from those we love, and the triumph of finding them-and ourselves-once again' Ali Hazelwood, THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS And Harriet, girly pop, please, have a little bit more of self-steem and respect for yourself. Stop being a people pleaser and try to save everyone. ! i truly feel connected to harriet. she was such a fleshed out character. beautifully written. she is me and i am her. her love towards her friends, her thoughts about herself, her conflicting emotions towards her family, even down to her thoughts about her job made me feel so seen.

Happy Place - Kindle edition by Henry, Emily. Literature Happy Place - Kindle edition by Henry, Emily. Literature

Henry’s new novel is a slow-burn romance and an ode to the chosen family we need when everything gets too complicated…The beach-read master hooks us again.” Alternating between past and present, Henry crafts a tender, bittersweet story about the bonds that help define us and the inevitability of change.” Want is a kind of thief. It’s a door in your heart, and once you know it’s there, you’ll spend your life longing for whatever’s behind it " If you’re looking for a magical second-chance romance that will make your heart ache and read compulsively to find out what happened to the perfect couple (and whether they’ll get their happily ever after), then Happy Place is sure to keep you up all night!”does that make me miss the golden age of my life during which she was writing about both and also magic and also realism and also YA? sure. do i think that she is at her very best when she is writing for quirky teens? yeah. do i think her adult romances are often pale comparisons, in terms of their friendships and relationships and character depth and even humor and reality and emotion, to those books? for sure. Obviously the romance is swoons. The chemistry between Wyn and Harry is palpable, and the payoff after the pining throughout a good bit of the book is worth every bit of anxiety ridden, nail biting suspense. The journey that both characters go on together and individually is satisfying. But also? The dynamic and vibes between this group of six friends is something you can sink into. It’s what you desire if you don’t have it, and appreciate if you do. And it’s not perfect, not by a long shot. Everyone is flawed and has to work at keeping this group together. Every year, they take a holiday from their lives to drink far too much wine with their favourite people in the world. Some of the dialogue writing is really beautiful, EH does write really well but for some reason it comes across as trying too hard. The thing with Beach Read is, the flow of narration came so naturally. It's such a balanced book. The way I perceive it, EH has been trying to live up to that- which is imo not working for her.

Her stories have all felt magical to me. Bar You and Me on Vacation, but we’re not talking about that book. I love how this felt so slice of life. So vulnerable, so intimate and human and ordinary in a way that’s true to real life. I know I’m reading something wonderful when I find myself pausing, taking a moment to sit with the story and reflect on my own life. i feel like me and this book are somehow cosmically intertwined and our souls are one. this book was so taylor swift’s lover, folklore, midnights coded, tell me i’m wrong ?! I wanted to play it cool and only say "ouh me gad, everyone lied to me this is not a contemporary romance but a freaking elegy poem" but im not cool and i need to pour my heart out so rtc

The found family aspect represented belonging in a way that I think we all want to experience, with people who just know and accept you at your core.
