Stephanie said: " reread may 2024

i think my thoughts are still the same about this book. the miscommunication and the toxic involvement from sabrina really bothers me still and i never think wyn redeems himself for how he behaved but in a way i do understand them a bi reread may 2024

i think my thoughts are still the same about this book. the miscommunication and the toxic involvement from sabrina really bothers me still and i never think wyn redeems himself for how he behaved but in a way i do understand them a bit more and this book really is just about harriet discovering herself and finding out what she wants out of life

i understand why this is so many peoples favourite emhen book and even though it's not my favourite i see how so many people can connect and relate to this one!

original review from april 2023

I really needed to let this book simmer after I finished reading it to truly get how i feel about it.

I'll admit, I had super high expectations for this book which is definitely my fault. I found myself comparing it a lot to Henry's other books which I love so dearly, and I think the only reason I don't favour happy place over the other books is because I initially thought at first i didn't relate to the characters so it wasn't my fave. that being said now that i've thought about it, Harriet and Wyn are such real characters who have gone through so much and feel so much. I think lots of people could relate to these characters very much.

This book is so sad when you just think about how much the characters are hurting, it's truly for the mirrorball, this is me trying, you're mastermind swifties.

I think what put me off this book was Wyn, he's really not my favourite of the book boyfriends, I just think he messed with Harriet throughout the book in the present day. Like I get he was hurting but like he was really messing with Harriet despite being the one to end things between them but once he apologized I think I was able to get over that and I was really happy with the ending.

I definitely think i need to reread this in the summer so i can see how i feel the second time around.

but it's a classic emily henry woman's fiction, romance book which complex characters, witty banter, real and raw characters with so much love. happy place features found family and second chance romance and emily henry does it so well. she really can do no wrong. i can always find splice and comfort in her novels. ...more "

Fuel the Fire (Calloway Sisters #3) by Krista Ritchie

10 notes & 10 highlights

never realized how bored I had been with life. How mundane my surroundings looked. How unchallenged I’d become. I never realized all of these things. Until I met her.
