About this item
Description
This exclusive edition contains BONUS CONTENT only available @ Target!!!
A couple who broke up months ago pretend to still be together for their annual weeklong vacation with their best friends in this glittering and wise new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.
Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now—for reasons they’re still not discussing—they don’t.
They broke up five months ago. And still haven’t told their best friends.
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. Their annual respite from the world, where for one vibrant, blissful 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.
Only this year, Harriet and Wyn are lying through their teeth while trying not to notice how desperately they still want each other. Because the cottage is for sale and this is the last week they’ll all have together in this place. They can’t stand to break their friends’ hearts, and so they’ll play their parts. Harriet will be the driven surgical resident who never starts a fight, and Wyn will be the laid-back charmer who never lets the cracks show. It’s a flawless plan (if you look at it from a great distance and through a pair of sunscreen-smeared sunglasses). After years of being in love, how hard can it be to fake it for one week…in front of those who know you best?

📚 Diving into "Happy Place" by Emily Henry was like taking a wild rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs of life in your 30s. Harriett and her squad are at that classic crossroad where you wonder, can adult friendships withstand the winds of change? 🤔 Honestly, I started off a bit unsure about where the story was headed – I'm not a fan of surprises. But as I got to know Harriet better, I saw myself in her struggles, and that's when the magic happened. Emily Henry has this amazing knack for making characters feel like real friends you can relate to. The storytelling in dual timelines was a genius move. It lets you watch relationships evolve, especially the one between Harriet and Wyn. 🕰️ Okay, I have to admit, there were moments when I wanted to shake these characters for their lack of communication! But that's what growth is all about, right? 🌱 This isn't your typical beach read; it's more of a deep-dive-into-your-feelings kind of book. It left me feeling emotionally drained, like I'd been taken apart and put back together in my own "happy place." 🌟 So, if you're up for a thought-provoking, soul-searching read, "Happy Place" is it. 📖 Emily Henry's storytelling will hit you right in the feels and make you ponder life's twists and turns. Trust me; it's worth the journey! 🎢🧡 #HappyPlace #BookReview #EmotionalReads #bookstagram #augustreads #Emilyhenry #30something #harriet&wyn

I absolutely adore this book! One of the best I’ve read in a long time. In fact, I read it in 24 hours and stayed up way too late lol. I laughed, I cried, I was kept in suspense of just how things would end! I see that people either love this or hate it and I’m glad to be one of the former!! The depth to each character was refreshing and she captures all the emotions that go along with the changes in friendships as you grow older. This book has romance friendship and so many emotions! Highly recommend.
Beautiful.

I’ve read all of Emily Henry books and sadly this one is not it. If you like a good story, this is not it. Save your time, energy and money. Her other work is so much better if you want to support the author.

I was suuuuuuper excited to get Happy Place gifted from Berkley Romance (thank you!) and picked it up ASAP… let me tell you it is SUUUUUCH a great summer read! Emily’s writing is so beautiful and really brings the book to life. It is more poignant than I anticipated, but had so much depth and I completely fell into the story. I think it was a smidge slow in the middle, but even with that it was such a fantastic second chance romance that in my opinion lives up to the hype! Tropes: found family Second chance/relationship in crisis Forced proximity Dual timeline Vacation Fake dating Happy Place is out NOW! Add it to your TBR for a perfect poolside or summer read!

WOW. 🤌 What a beautiful story! This book was more about love. It was truly about finding YOUR happiness. Which I really enjoyed! Even if life diverts you in a different path and if you don’t please certain people at least YOU are happy! I loved the different timelines of how the author talked about the past and present. We got to know the characters more in depth and not just the main characters but all of them. The author did a great job of telling everyones story. I also appreciated them more and felt like I knew them on a deeper level. I really enjoyed the setting. A group of friends in a beautiful beach house in Maine. As someone who is from Connecticut it just felt like home! Do I need to say more?! BUY this now! -Busymombookworm

No twists, no turns. No major drama. Felt anticlimactic and the ending was obvious from the beginning. Nothing inherently interesting happens, the book really just goes through the motions of what you would expect and ends up right where you predict. Emily Henry’s books are not very exciting to me and I’m surprised she is as popular as she is right now. If you’re looking for a straight forward, no frills story that helps you fall asleep at night, look no further. 😴

I’m a big fan of Emily Henry and this book took me by surprise, it was a little different than her previous books. It was beautiful, heartbreaking and came together in the end in the perfect way. It was sadder than her other books, but it was real and my heart was in it. I love how she writes ❤️
