Happy Place

Happy place follows the story of Harriet, her love life with Wyn and her friendship with her found family over the years. This is a beautiful story about love, friendship, second chances, growth and happy places.

What I loved about the book:
- One of the most beautiful love stories I've read. You can just feel Harriet and Wyn truly love each other. There is so much raw emotion in each page! It is not about lust and attraction and it feels real in a way I rarely see written.
- Great mental health representation (depression and anxiety)
- Despite being one POV only, the past chapters perfectly show Wyn's strengths and flaws, his insecurities and his incredible ability to love. I loved these chapters as I could have glimpses of their happy life and understand why they were just perfect for each other.
- happy places perfectly shows how friendships shift and evolve through time and as we age, even when we fight against it and try to keep everything the same. It's ok to grow and change and I liked to see it with Harriet's friends.

My only complaint in this book is that I wished I have seen more of their lives and happy ending. The romance is well written enough for me to believe in the MC HEA but, after all the sadness and suffering, I would have liked to read a bit more about their happy ending, especially about happy Wyn.

Emily Henry's books are always successful but excluding Beach Read, which I absolutely adore, I tend to have mix/negative feelings about them. Happy place just won a place alongside Beach Read on my favorites list.
