there is nothing more heart wrenching than flashback pov‘s 😭 you‘re telling me i have to read about them falling in love just to be heart broken in the present scenes.

Harriet me ha encantado, es una mujer fuerte e inteligente pero también alguien sensible con el corazón roto mientras intenta mantener a flote su vida como residente en un hospital y cumplir con las expectativas de su padres. I get the hype over Emily Henry's books, I swear I do, but they never captivate me or make me giggle, kick my feet in the air or feel happy. There is plenty to relate to in this story which is replete with Henry's absorbing writing style and characters you want to root for. I decided to give Emily Henry another chance after Beach Read, which I did not finish because it was bad in my opinion.That it had to go somewhere, and funneling it into anger is how I’ve managed to make it through these last two days.

For one glorious week they leave behind their lives, drink far too much wine and soak up the sea air with their favourite people. harriet and wyn are so different from each other—yet so similar, this is why they instantly connected with one another. The pacing of this book, the alternating timelines, the character development, the relationships were all beautifully and expertly written. but i just constantly wanted to grab her by the shoulders, shake her and scream “ YOU ARE ENOUGH” i love her character sm, it was definitely bc i related to her in an unnerving way *cough* i also hate my job.

Sin duda Wyn es el que ha robado mi corazón, el tipo es lindo dese el primer momento con su encanto juvenil y su coqueteo constante pero a medida que la historia avanza también descubrimos sus miedos e inseguridades. and as always emily henry books are gonna hit a little harder, linger a little closer, and stay a little longer than any other romance book. In other words, you’ll either *love it and hate it at the same time* or just feel apathetic towards it. I don’t think there are words to describe just how much this book means to me, or how relatable I found aspects of it, but I’ll try to convey here. like you think you can promise the universe something and prevent the inevitable but of course you can’t.

do i think her adult romances are often pale comparisons, in terms of their friendships and relationships and character depth and even humor and reality and emotion, to those books? I approached Happy Place with some caution; where previous Emily Henry books shot straight to 5-star ratings, I had a couple of reader friends suggest this one was a notch below previous efforts. Be aware that the book, characters’ flaws and their "Dark Places" will either resonate with you or will be hard to empathize with. They didn't even feel like best friends because there was a lot of tension and they were keeping secrets from each other (yes, I know this last thing happens a lot irl).The "way" he did what he did was —to my opinion—transparent and cristal clear but to excuse and compassionate with him and his individual choices the last chapters were really helpful and emotionally draining. 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.

Sabrina started dating their long-time friend and party boy Parth, and Cleo is happily farming and dating her hyperactive, extrovert lover Kimmie. We know he’s a good guy, we know he’s not as studious as the others but something was a little lacking. I'm not going to include this book in my big hype big lie shelf yet because I honestly didn't have many expectations for Happy Place. Couple that with the fact that I like to try and champion books from either debut authors or without a large marketing budget behind them as often as possible (this is not a pat on the back, just a personal passion of mine), and I do not tend to fit in as many of the big books of the season that I used to. there’s this unique connection i get from emily henry’s writing style that at this point should be studied.they had such an enjoyable connection, which made reading their present day chapters so heartbreaking.
