About the Book:

In Happy Place by Emily Henry, Harriet and Wyn have always seemed like the perfect couple since their college days, blending together seamlessly like salt and pepper, honey and tea. But now, for undisclosed reasons, they’ve broken up—six months ago. Despite this, they haven’t told their closest friends, which leads them to an awkward predicament.

As they join their friend group for their annual vacation at a beloved Maine cottage, Harriet and Wyn must share the largest bedroom, maintaining the illusion of their unbroken relationship. This getaway has been a cherished tradition for a decade, a time to leave behind their daily routines and immerse themselves in the warmth of friendship, enjoying good food, wine, and the soothing coastal atmosphere.

However, this year is different. The cottage is up for sale, marking the end of an era, and Harriet and Wyn must pretend to be the loving couple they once were, despite the raw emotions bubbling just beneath the surface. As they navigate the week, pretending for the sake of their friends, they confront the lingering desires and unresolved issues between them. Harriet, the driven surgical resident, and Wyn, the laid-back charmer, must play their parts to perfection, despite knowing that their ruse might crumble under the weight of their true feelings.

Happy Place is a sparkling and insightful novel about love, friendship, and the complexities of pretending everything is perfect. Emily Henry weaves a story that explores the nuances of relationships, the pain of unspoken truths, and the possibility of rekindling what once was.
