Product Information

Not only will they make you happy , her latest may just make you fall in love with falling in love again. Harriet is a brilliantly realised avoidant people-pleaser, a flawed yet admirable heroine we can all relate to and aspire to be more like.

I'm not going to include this book in my big hype big lie shelf yet because I honestly didn't have many expectations for Happy Place. Este libro también trata sobre ese cambio de adulto joven al inicio de los veintes con un montón de planes y sueños a adulto de los 30s donde tu vida ya esta más plateada y las cosas son mas calmadas. overall, this book was phenomenal and i absolutely adored it, EH writing is just *chefs kiss* if you’re looking for a romance galore book i’m sorry to say this book isn’t for you, this book explores more about a friend group and their dynamics, growing up and letting go.Which is how they end up sharing the master bedroom at the cottage that has been their yearly getaway with their best friends for the past decade. Harriet finds out that Sabrina's father will sell Happy Place, and that this will be their last time together. Which is how they find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly getaway for the last decade. i’m the culmination of their lost dreams, their missed other lives, and at the same time, they’re proud of me. wyn and harriet were so torn up over each other, but they are so bad at communicating their vulnerability to one another.

I get the hype over Emily Henry's books, I swear I do, but they never captivate me or make me giggle, kick my feet in the air or feel happy. it will always feel like a warm hug from someone you know and haven’t seen in a while and i’m never not going to love it. As a book nerd, my personal favorites of hers are still the publishing-themed pair Book Lovers and Beach Read – whereas this feels more like the spiritual companion novel to You and Me on Vacation. This was definitely a bitter sweet read for me as yes it’s cute but the romance aspect was just too much which is down to personal preference and I know many others have loved it. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by BuzzFeed ∙ Paste Magazine ∙ Elle ∙ Southern Living ∙ SheReads ∙ Culturess ∙ Medium ∙ Her Campus ∙ Readers Digest ∙ Zibby Mag and more!i just love the way EH handles mental health topics and always manages to give so much emotional depth to her characters. I did find myself wishing that Harriett would stand up for herself a bit more though and I also felt the issues her friends had hindered the story. not so much a huge rom com like her other books but it’s much more mature and melancholy and UGH there are some passages i teared up at. 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.

Harriet is invited to her Happy Place, where she has spent her most meaningful, unforgettable, sentimental moments with her best friends Sabrina, a hotshot lawyer, and Cleo, an aspiring farmer. but it was 400 pages long and when she’s being annoying for 350 of them, “occasionally” doesn’t cut it. The narrative follows the group as they spend the week together at a holiday cottage in Maine, one last hurrah before the cottage they have loved for many years is sold. i can understand some people needing more control and having that sort of personality quirk - we all have them - but this is an INNATE characteristic in a person and they either would have run into a problem with it earlier if they had incompatible or clashing personalities for friends, or they would have made different friends. We're always happy to answer any questions or queries you might have, please get in touch using one of the methods below.What follows is a tension-filled week where Harriet and Wyn present a "nothing is wrong" front to their friends so as not to ruin the week, while remembering all of the things they love about each other and beginning to drift back together. As someone who graduated college a few years ago, has felt the sadness of friends moving away and drifting apart, and looked back on my own happy place moments that feel too far in the past, this book HIT. this book is for the girls who worry and worry, worry if they’re good enough, worry if they’ve achieved enough, worry if they’re enough.

Their annual respite from the world, where for one vibrant, blue week they leave behind their daily lives; have copious amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal air with the people who understand them most. I get that they were in that trip mourning their youth and trying to have a good time, but goddamn it was painful. Me ha gustado que este libro trata relaciones tanto entre amigos como de pareja (tanto hetero como una lesbica) todas diferentes pero todas sanas, con sus altibajos pero bien planteadas.Overall, this is an inspirational novel about self-growth, friendship, growing up, changing, grief, and mental illness. THEN WHY IS SHE GIVING IT UP TO MOVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR A RELATIONSHIP THAT MIGHT FALL APART AGAIN BECAUSE THEY CAN’T FUCKING TALK TO EACH OTHER? The writing was stunning, and I obviously cared about the story bc this review is a mile long (sorry about that) Will I ever read it again? She studied creative writing at Hope College, and now spends most of her time in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the part of Kentucky just beneath it.
