About this Event

Looking for a read that’s heartfelt, relatable, and a little bit nostalgic?

This May, we’re diving into Happy Place by Emily Henry, a warm and emotional story about love, friendship, and the complicated journey of figuring out what truly makes you happy.

Harriet and Wyn were the perfect couple until they weren’t. Now, they find themselves sharing one last vacation with their closest friends, pretending everything is still fine. As old memories resurface and emotions come to the surface, the story explores second chances, timing, and the tension between who we were and who we’re becoming. It’s a tender and honest reminder that happiness doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.

About the Book:
Happy Place explores themes of love, friendship, identity, and personal growth. It’s an engaging and emotionally layered read that invites meaningful conversation around relationships and self-discovery.

Trigger Warnings: Breakup, emotional distress, relationship conflict

Genre: Contemporary fiction / romance
