Happy Place: A shimmering new novel from #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Emily Henry

Product Information

Just in time for summer, Henry’s latest rom-com is a charming, heartwarming read about second-chance romance.” 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, blue 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. Sure, the toilet gets to hide in a shameful little cabinet, but if I plan on changing my clothes at any point during this week, my options are (1) accept that I’ll be doing so with an audience of one, namely my ex-fiancé; (2) stuff myself into the shit-closet and pray for good balance; or (3) find a discreet way to sneak down to the infamous outdoor shower stall over by the guesthouse. If you’re looking for a magical second-chance romance that will make your heart ache and read compulsively to find out what happened to the perfect couple (and whether they’ll get their happily ever after), then Happy Place is sure to keep you up all night!”

But how can you pretend to be in love - and get away with it - in front of the people who know you best?Rigidly, I drop into the wrought iron chair next to his, and his arm rearranges, loosely crooking around my shoulders. For the last couple of years, Emily Henry has been the queen of romance novels, and that is not changing any time soon. If you have any of her other books on your TBR right now, you're going to want to catch up on them ASAP as she gets ready to release her next novel that'll make you want to book a summer vacation with your BFFs and maybe even your ex-fiancé (yes, really). This room is pure luxury. The king-sized bed has four-zillion–thread count sheets. A set of double doors opens onto a balcony that overlooks both the saltwater pool and the bluffs beyond it, and there’s both a massive stone tub and a two-person shower made of dark slate and glass.

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.Except this year, they are lying through their teeth, because Harriet and Wyn broke up six months ago. And they still haven't told anyone.

If you're feeling all the angst just from that, then get ready because the official description from Berkley will have you even more excited:

Happy Place proves that Henry is a writer with “no skips,” her oeuvre as expertly crafted as a perfect summer playlist.” It makes my heart twinge, thinking of this perfect final week she’s planned for us and my utter inability to enjoy it. 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.
