But this year, Harriet and Wyn haven’t told their friends that they have broken up, leaving them lying through their teeth for a week as they pretend to be a couple to avoid breaking their friends’ hearts.Įmily Henry shot to fame for her novels that straddle the genres of contemporary fiction and romance - books that not only focus on the central romance, but also create complicated, vulnerable female protagonists that the reader cannot help but root for. They share a group of close friends that, for the last decade, have scheduled an annual getaway to a small cottage in Maine as a respite from their daily lives. “Happy Place” follows ex-fiancés Harriet, a conflict-avoidant surgical resident, and Wyn, a quick-witted charmer who dances through life. Though it falls short of the brilliance of her previous works, “Happy Place” is still sexy, charming, and meaningful - a book well worth reading for Henry’s fans. Her novel “Happy Place” is the fourth installment in what is jokingly called the EHCU (Emily Henry Cinematic Universe), a series of standalone novels that exist in the same world - as she revealed in a crossover short story “Layover.” With three previous books celebrated for their compelling cast of characters, fascinating backstories, and satisfying romances, “Happy Place” has a lot to live up to.
