Happy Place

Emily Henry creates characters that are beyond relatable. Harriet's upbringing hit close to home for me. Some moments were like looking in a mirror. Emily did a great job with showing how our upbringing impacts our lives and how we handle certain situations. I had several physical reactions to the emotional moments.

Because we go through the whole story from Harriet's POV, after finishing I realized how much more I wanted to know about Wyn. To get some of his thoughts especially from a mental health point of view. This is no way took away from the story and how good it was, just something that I wished was there.

It's not just a romance, it's a book about friendship too and how those relationships change through the years. The comfort of having people in your life that know you well.

It overall is a lesson about what “happy place”means. It can be a place or a person or several of these. It's about listening to our hearts and following what makes YOU happy, not what you think will make others happy.

I loved this book and was sad when it was over. It definitely will be one to reread through the years (just like everything else that Emily Henry writes). And I absolutely loved some of the Easter eggs hidden in it!
