Happy Place

Product Information

but a significant part of the story is about their friend group as well, and the whole drama of “its our last summer and we are growing apart” just wasnt as appealing to me. Not only will they make you happy, her latest may just make you fall in love with falling in love again. i felt like she went in my head and articulated my thoughts about certain life experiences and emotions so well. they had such an enjoyable connection, which made reading their present day chapters so heartbreaking. Love love love the book, how it seamlessly moves between real place and happy place, past and present merged into one yet distinct to make a beautiful picture.

Both, Harriet and Wyn made a lot of assumptions instead of actually talk to each other, which could have spared us from a 400 pages book. Be aware that the book, characters’ flaws and their "Dark Places" will either resonate with you or will be hard to empathize with. I tried not to think of her as a doormat even tho she clearly was one bc she was about to become a freaking NEUROSURGEON ! I understand why he broke it off which even made sense and I don’t blame him for that, but the way he went about it was so frustrating and selfish. the reason why i loved this book so much, was not the romance but harriet’s introspection and character.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. That doesn't mean they're perfect, but they put in the work to keep their friendships in a solid place. The dual narrative of this novel, exposing the history of Harriet and Wyn alongside the present day, help us to develop an attachment to the central couple and their group of friends. i sit on the edge of the bed, feeling the loneliness swell, not knowing whether it's pressing against me from the outside or growing from within. 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.

i’m not sure what sense of surprise or whatever was meant to be here, but it was painfully obvious from the beginning that they all had their own shit going on. How is it possible to sum up your feelings on a book that you were sure wouldn’t be for you, but ended up being a guaranteed top read of the year instead? However, this year they are lying through their teeth as they broke up SIX months ago and still haven't told anyone! Please, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not a real thing , but I can't even start to imagine someone loving me for so long without getting bored of me.i was hoping the friendships would feel more real, but something about them didn’t hit the way they were meant to.
