Happy Place: A shimmering new novel from #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Emily Henry

Product Information

The sex scene felt... Off. There was "a lot" of tension going on between Harriet and Wyn from the beginning, but when the sex scene finally came, it disappeared and felt dull. This book could have been better if we had Wyn's POV. He obviously was struggling with depression, the loss of his father and his mother being diagnosed with Parkinson. We could have understood him more like this. But otherwise, he seemed indifferent about his relationship. This was a great post. The idea of perception and choosing our reactions is amazing is it not? No matter what is happening on the outside, it is our perception that determines how we feel about it. I have found meditation, deep breathing and doing the emotional freedom technique to be incredibly helpful with these types of moments. I am only human and of course lose sight of these wonderful insights at times, but I am getting better at creating that space between pure awareness, which is what I am, and the thoughts and feelings that arise to things happening outside of me. Again, great post! You’re driving to work in rush hour traffic, thinking about the great conversation you had with your partner over a healthy breakfast.

During the drive home in rush hour traffic, you’re thinking about the great dinner you’ll have with your family, your children’s big, loving eyes and the time you’ll spend on your passion. The Mind Game

I’ve memorized the rhythm of his breathing when he sleeps and the smell of his skin when he’s been out in the sun, and I know when he’s afraid." I found my happy place the day I stopped comparing myself to everyone else and just embraced that I’m strange as f**k and oddly out of place and I kinda dig it that way. My weirdness is my magic!” ― Brooke Hampton

Happy Places

I wanted to be special, Harriet,” he says. “And since I wasn’t, I settled for trying to make everyone love me. I know how ridiculous that sounds, but it’s true. I spent my whole life chasing things and people who could make me feel like I mattered." You’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere, accomplish and achieve more and more. It’s rare that you slow down enough to ask where you’re really going. OMG!! The flowers are AMAZING! Thanks for sharing all that with us!! I can definitely see how a place like this can inspire you. Reply Overall, this is an inspirational novel about self-growth, friendship, growing up, changing, grief, and mental illness. I returned to read some chapters over and over again.

there’s this unique connection i get from emily henry’s writing style that at this point should be studied. the way she not only describes feelings but gives me this ache that’s so deep and penetrating. it’s so tender omfg maybe my biggest problem with all of it was concerning her: SHES SO HORNY OH MY GOD. why is nobody talking about this 😭 i swear to god every single chapter was her being horny and wanting to literally jump wyn and thinking about jumping wyn and fantasizing about jumping wyn and IT GOT SO OLD HOLY SHIT. there was no tension between them because there wasn’t room after all the lust.

In this chat with Fearne, Ellie and her mum Yvonne talk about the obstacles she’s overcome to grace the covers of Vogue and Glamour, as well as become the UK ambassador for a Barbie doll based on a person with Down’s Syndrome.

The entire difference was a change in your attitude and the things you focused on. Social media, cause tell me why I thought of wyn the second I saw someone selling their tables on tinder??
