📖 Book Description

Jane and Colin are soulmates. He just doesn’t know it yet.

For twenty-four-year-old Jane, finding love in New York City is even harder than making it as a playwright. So when Jane meets Colin, she can’t believe her luck: they’re perfect for each other. Even when Colin breaks off their relationship after six dates, Jane knows this is just a stumbling block. She’ll get him back. She knows she will.

That is, until Colin starts dating Zoe―perfect, luminous Zoe. Even worse, she’s actually kind of nice. But Zoe doesn’t have what it takes to love Colin. All Jane has to do is prove it, and they’ll be so happy together.

But when Jane sneaks into Colin’s apartment, she makes a shocking discovery―one that will ensnare them all in a dark web of lies, secrets, and murder.

Unrelentingly twisty and utterly compelling, So Happy Together is an unputdownable, shattering read―a riveting blend of You, Riley Sager, and Promising Young Woman.

Some hearts get broken, some get even.

📝 My Review

What I Loved:
I was impressed with the character development throughout the book. I really felt like I knew Collin, Zoe, and Jane personally. Since Zoe and Jane both knew they were physically involved with Collin, I kind of expected the relationship to take a more modern approach in the story. Personally, I’m delighted it didn’t come to that, but I still thought it was inevitable.

This book maintained just enough suspense and uncertainty throughout to keep me eager to read until the last page. Even after I finished the book, I still wasn’t entirely confident about who did what. But the ending was predictable.

What Didn’t Work for Me:

It wasn’t a fast-paced read, but it was still enjoyable. I also felt like the storyline was taken from many other similar-style movies and books. As such, it didn’t seem overly unique.
