'Happy Place' by Emily Henry is a romantic novel about Harriet and Wyn, a once-perfect couple from college known for their harmonious compatibility. However, they broke up five months ago and haven't disclosed this to their close friends. The story unfolds at their annual group vacation in a Maine cottage, a decade-long tradition involving relaxation, food, and close companionship. This year, with the cottage up for sale and marking their last gathering there, Harriet and Wyn struggle to conceal their true feelings and the reality of their breakup from their friends. They assume facades; Harriet plays the composed surgical resident, and Wyn is the easygoing charmer. The plot revolves around the complexity of maintaining these facades and their unresolved feelings for each other during this final, bittersweet week. The story delves into themes of love, friendship, and the challenges of sustaining appearances under the scrutiny of those who know them best.
