Happy Place is funny at points, but it is also the closest that Henry has come to writing an old-school melodrama, a heart-rending plot that struggles to express the inexpressible. Henry operates at the top of her - and her readers’ - intelligence, telling sophisticated, heartfelt stories that are conscious of the romantic comedy conventions without being overly meta about them. She studied creative writing at Hope College, and now spends most of her time in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the part of Kentucky just beneath it. by Emily Henry Paperback 11.99 12.99 QUICK ADD Happy Place: Urlaub mit dem Ex by Emily Henry, Katharina Naumann (Translator) eBook 5.99 QUICK ADD The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry eBook 10.99 QUICK ADD When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry Paperback 10. The novel is structured in flashbacks that detail their initial attraction, their mutual devotion and the sudden, shattering breakup that devastates them both. Emily Henry is the 1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation, Beach Read, and the forthcoming Happy Place. The core of the novel is, without question, the ballad of Harriet and her ex-fiancé, Wyn. Admittedly, Sabrina, Cleo and their counterparts don’t come through as sharply as the two leads, their motives mostly a mystery until the final chapters. Most of Henry’s books focus on two characters, but this ensemble piece presents female friendship in all its warmth and woundedness, blessedly absent of misogynist tropes of jealousy and pettiness.

It is, in many ways, the least 'happy' of her works, less swooning and more longing, with a sense of melancholy permeating throughout.
