Happy Place

I might update the star rating to 4... for now, this is 3.5 - it was fun and I finished it in one day but I cannot stand the lack of communication from this group of adults. How are they this bad at keeping in touch and discussing their problems after 10 years together?

I also normally HATE second chance stories, but I'll give an exception to this one because it seems like these two barely actually broke up - the fact that they didn't tell anyone for 6 months is ?????? If there is one thing I hate more than second chances, it's a poor communication trope and oh my lord, it's on level 1000 in this one.

All of these couples need couple therapy and probably some individual therapy too. How are all these people couples and still not married? What do you all have against marriage? They're all a mess and insanely immature.

That all being said, I love the dynamic between the characters, the romance felt well-evolved and real and I personally thought the flashbacks were well done. I liked Book Lovers more just because the characters were at least a bit more mature - but I really wish these characters were in college rather than their late 20's to early 30's.
