Happy Place

Since their undergraduate years, Harriet and Wyn have been the ideal couple—they complement each other like salt and pepper, honey and tea, and lobster and rolls. But as of right now, they don't—for reasons they haven't yet disclosed.

They split up half a year ago. They haven't yet informed their closest pals.

This is how they wind up sharing the biggest bedroom in the Maine cottage that has served as the annual retreat for their buddy group for the last ten years. Their yearly escape from the outside world, where they spend one bright, blue week getting away from their everyday life; indulging in an abundance of cheese, wine, and seafood; and taking in the salty sea air with the people closest to them.

Harriet and Wyn are just lying through their teeth this year, attempting to hide how much they still desire one other. as this is their final week together in this location and the cottage is up for sale. They'll play their roles because they can't bear to damage their pals' hearts. Wyn will be the easygoing charmer who never shows her weaknesses, while Harriet will be the focused surgical resident who never picks fights. If you see the plan via sunglasses covered with sunscreen and from a considerable distance, it appears to be perfect. How difficult can it be to pretend to be in love for a week in front of the people who know you the best after years of being together?

In this sparkling and smart new book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry, a couple who split up months ago strike a deal to pretend they are still together for their annual weeklong vacation with their closest friends.
