NetGalley ARC | So Happy Together

I receved a free digital ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Rating | ⭐⭐⭐

So delightfully unhinged and bonkers, I could not put it down.

Jane is trying to make it as a playwrite in New York City and also find the love of her life. Dating apps are not helpful, until she meets Colin. She is at once smitten, completely head over heels. Thus, you can imagine her confusion and hurt when the love of her life breaks off the relationship after six dates.

Determined to win him back, Jane is sure she can accomplish this with time. Until she finds out he is already dating someone new.

Enter Zoe, Jane's competition. Zoe is everything - kind and welcoming, beautiful, a talented artist. Jane knows Zoe will never love Colin the way she does though, so of course, chaos ensues.

It seems like there is a very fine line between love and obsession, so watching Jane creep around on the edges of Colin's life, only to suddenly be thrust dead-center in the middle of it was such a trip. Especially because Zoe is the one who draws Jane deeper and deeper into their lives.

Jane and Zoe become close as Jane plays the part of a college friend of Colin's, which he goes along with as well, though he is clearly uncomfortable with the developing friendship between the two. Colin begins to pull away from Zoe as the book goes on, which only confuses Jane further.

Zoe was confusing to me too, but only because I could not figure out what her end-game was. She was just as much of a trip as Jane, in a wildly different way because I just could not figure her out.

Learning more about Jane's past was the sobering aspect of the book, which kind of made her actions in the present make more sense, and why she was so susceptible to Zoe's charm.

The book is fast-paced and delusional and chaotic and messy. It's not life-changing but it is so much fun.

Recommended.
