HAPPY PLACE

couple who broke up months ago agrees to pretend they are still together for their annual weeklong vacation with their best friends in this sparkling and insightful new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.

Harriet and Wyn were the perfect couple since college—like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. But six months ago, they broke up, and they still haven't told their best friends.

Now, they're stuck sharing the largest bedroom at the Maine cottage, their friend group's annual retreat for the past decade. This vibrant, blue week is usually a time to escape daily life, indulge in cheese, wine, and seafood, and bask in the company of those who understand them best.

But this year, Harriet and Wyn are pretending everything's fine, despite the lingering feelings between them. The cottage is up for sale, making this the last week they'll all spend there together. They can't bear to break their friends' hearts, so they play along—Harriet, the driven surgical resident, and Wyn, the laid-back charmer. It's a foolproof plan (if you don't look too closely and wear sunscreen-smeared sunglasses). After years of love, how hard can it be to fake it for one week in front of the people who know them best?
