Description
Book Synopsis
A couple who broke up months ago pretend to still be together for their annual weeklong vacation with their best friends in this glittering and wise new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry. Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college--they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now--for reasons they're still not discussing--they don't. They broke up five months ago. And still haven't told their best friends. Which is how they find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group's yearly getaway for the last decade. Their annual respite from the world, where for one vibrant, blissful week they leave behind their daily lives; have copious amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal air with the people who understand them most. Only this year, Harriet and Wyn are lying through their teeth while trying not to notice how desperately they still want each other. Because the cottage is for sale and this is the last week they'll all have together in this place. They can't stand to break their friends' hearts, and so they'll play their parts. Harriet will be the driven surgical resident who never starts a fight, and Wyn will be the laid-back charmer who never lets the cracks show. It's a flawless plan (if you look at it from a great distance and through a pair of sunscreen-smeared sunglasses). After years of being in love, how hard can it be to fake it for one week...in front of those who know you best?About the Author

Happy Place
Loved this book. Bright. Crisp. Cozy. I was expecting just a romance but it took me by surprise. I could relate to the message behind it, people in different kind of relationships growing apart, not thinking about your own emotions and what you really want, or doing so thinking that’s what someone else wants from/for you, the sacrifices from our parents, etc… But most importantly how everyone turns this around and reflect and make a positive change, that comes with stronger bonds and everyone is happy! I laughed and I cried and I finished this book with a smile. Thank you Emily Henry for great reads, loved Beach Read and Book Lover also but this one has an especial kind of place in my heart.

Boring (regret buying)
A bit of spoilers ahead: I did not like this book. It felt like a one sided love, where the main female character tries her best to please her partner, who doesn’t even care. If you read the book, you’ll see how he treats her, but she still blindly loves him. My opinion, they should have broken up and that would be the happy ending because their relationship just seems off to me.

Yes mellow start, it’s true it was not an immediate whirlwind of a read but i didn’t mind taking my time with it. 1/3 through the book and it started clicking for me, and the pacing of the beginning made sense after that. keeping their breakup a secret has a lot to do with Har’s character then it does with Wyn. The friends facing the uncomfortable fact that life changes, friendship can seem to fall through the cracks and fear of losing the moments that make you happy.

This Book Reviews are not accurate
The flow, the flashbacks, it was hard to get going took me 2 weeks and then I just starting reading. I just feel like the organization of the book was choppy, and I think she could have developed it more. She had something there. Cover is great, catch, but needed a little more. I did like Book Lovers and Beach Read,..will not read the Funny Story now.

Witty and Heartwarming
This book is brilliant! I love how Emily Henry captures the evolution of friendship as the characters grow up and move apart. It’s both witty and heartwarming, and I’d recommend it to anyone!

New fan of Emily Henry, Definite Recommend
It's a story about 5 friends who've known each other since before college. They meet up in Maine for a vacation, but unbeknownst to Harriet and Wyn's friends, they broke up 3 months ago and are no longer engaged. The chapters go back and forth with past and present, but it isn't overdone. You get to know the characters and how they came to be friends, but also how Harriet and Wyn fell in love originally. There's a little bit of spice later in the book. I read it twice in 3 weeks. I loved it. Recommend!

Nah
I couldn’t even finish the book, so maybe I shouldn’t give my two cents. But. I’m a huge reader and I’m going to. It seemed like the book wasn’t written well, a lot of “filler” and random sentences that just didn’t seem necessary. I got 12 chapters in and decided it was not for me.

Had To Put It Down - So Disapointed!
100 pages in and I have officially given up on this book. I don’t give up on books, ever, yet here I am planning to donate this one to my local LFL next week. I love Emily’s other books but this one hits so below the mark, it’s incredibly disappointing. The writing is hard to follow and loses focus, the characters aren’t as lovable as intended and the plot is just lacking. There is nothing to grab the reader and her voice as a writer is lost in this book. Hoping her book coming out later this summer will redeem her in my mind because Beach Read is one of my favorite rom reads to date!

Give it some time
It builds up very slowly, but it’s worth it to me to really understand why things happened the way they happened. I think if you can get past the first half of the book you will enjoy it.

Slow and boring.
Honestly this book was a little boring. At the end I was just glad I was done with it. Felt like she wrote things that were irrelevant just to make it long,
