Happy Place

Więcej o książce

A couple who broke up months ago make a pact to pretend to still be together during their annual weeklong vacation with friends in this insightful novel from a bestselling author. Harriet and Wyn have always been the perfect couple since college, but now they’re not together, having split six months prior without informing their closest friends. This leads to an awkward situation as they share a bedroom at their friend group's beloved Maine cottage, a place they've cherished for a decade. This annual retreat allows them to escape their daily lives, indulging in cheese, wine, and seafood while enjoying the coastal air with those who know them best. However, this year is different; they are both trying to suppress their lingering feelings while maintaining the façade of a happy couple. With the cottage up for sale, they feel compelled to protect their friends from heartbreak, leading them to play their roles: Harriet as the dedicated surgical resident and Wyn as the easygoing charmer. It seems like a perfect plan—if viewed from a distance and through sunscreen-smeared sunglasses. After years of love, how challenging can it be to fake a relationship for just one week in front of their closest friends?
