This was a great read. It was fun, and relatable at a lot of parts. I liked the ending. The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars was because it was good but not something I would read again. I wasn’t over the moon about it, but it was good. Would recommend.

“Happy Place” was a cute romance that handled themes of grief and growing up well, but it didn’t live up to the hype (in my personal, private opinion).

Julia Whelan just does such a great job narrating, and I think this book may have bored me a bit more without her talents. I do love a slow burn romance, but this one maybe was too slow? I got a little bored in the middle, and I felt like the the "conflict" in the relationship was just as deep as one in a Hallmark movie -

just lack of communication.

Like, I wasn't rooting for them lol and also!

Was I supposed to catch that she hated being a doctor??? That seemed out of nowhere to me!

Would probs try Ms. Henry again.

Maybe I am a basic bitch but I loved it, okay? I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I got very horny. It was amazing and it ended in a way I loved bc I too am burnt out on a career I thought I would love. I too am clinging to my youth and friends from college like a gd Sabrina. I too would follow my people to the ends of the earth. Anyway, I guess I am an Emily Henry stan now bc I also loved People We Meet on Vacation.
