Another beautiful Emily Henry story. This one featuring a couple who had been together for years before breaking up, and are hiding it from their mutual friends on an annual trip they all take together.
This wasn’t a 5 star read to me because I am always annoyed by lack of communication being a pivotal plot device. It’s not miscommunication, it’s just 30-year-olds who are best friends but don’t talk to each other.
Other than that, I loved the main characters. Harriet is me - all of the tension and pressure that she has created for herself affecting her relationships. And Wyn is just darling - a tad unrealistic, but darling.
All of the lighthearted fun and joy in the happy place were my favorite bits, and I could have read much more of that story. The ending wasn’t my favorite of her books, but I still adore her writing and will happily read everything she publishes.
