Are you looking for some light and fun books to read on your summer vacation? Fiction author Emily Henry has a new book out called
Happy Place. She is known for her modern day romance novels and has even been said to have redefined the romance novel.
Happy Place is about a couple who broke up months ago, but pretend to still be together for their annual weeklong vacation with their best friends. This 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 the most. Only this year, Harriet and Wyn are lying through their teeth while trying not to notice how desperately they still want each other. Because the cottage is for sale and this is the last week they'll all have together in this place. They can't stand to break their friends' hearts, and so they'll play their parts. Harriet will be the driven surgical resident who never starts a fight, and Wyn will be the laid-back charmer who never lets the cracks show. It's a flawless plan (if you look at it from a great distance and through a pair of sunscreen-smeared sunglasses). After years of being in a love, how hard can it be to fake it for one week...in front of those who know you best?
