how was happy place you may ask? IT WAS AMAZING
as pwmov is my #1 emily henry book and will forever be, i simply loved happy place because both are very similar in themes and writing
it’s the pwmov angst x10, because in this one you’re not thinking “oh i hope they could be together, they fit and are best friends and they love each other so much but never acknowledged the feelings”, instead it’s “OH MY GOD these two people have been together for almost ten years and they LOVE EACH OTHER, they are soulmates but because something we don’t know yet they’ve broken up but now they are with their friends and have to pretend that they still are engaged and in love BUT NOTHING IN HERE IS PRETENDING BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL IN LOVE AND IT HURTS SO MUCH”
and i love how emily henry always twists the tropes, like with book lovers she makes the story revolve around the women who’s always left behind and here she takes the fake dating and simply !!!!! because how am i supposed to fake dating my EX FIANCÉ?
uGH HER MIND *CHEF’S KISS*
