A pinch of obsession, a cup of delusion, and a couple teaspoons of manifesting the present/future that you desire and you sum up Jane very well in this highly entertaining story of being with the one you are meant to be with (even if he is currently dating another girl) and not letting reality get in the way. Now, Jane actually is not the most delusional woman I have read about this year, she does seem halfway in touch with the real world and that is what makes this story fun. I love what she and Zoe do and felt that they make a much better matched pair than her and Colin and so I enjoyed the twists that this story took, murder, cover ups, lies, mysterious texting from another woman in Colin's life, and don't forget the presentation of Ophelia starring both Zoe and Jane. Is it very realistic? Nope, not even if you live in New York, especially with the dealing of the dead bodies, but it was still fun to read and time went by quickly as I raced to get to the end to see who would end up still alive and I definitely got a good giggle out of Jane's last twisting of the truth so that it could be a happy ending.

So, yes, entertaining, if you like reading about women in their own little worlds and not get annoyed about how they twist it all to make sure it still means she gets the guy, and even a bit of murder won't stop her!

Jane is a 24-year-old playwright trying to find love in New York City, and she’s certain she’s found “the one” in Colin. Sure, he broke things off after six dates and now he’s dating a girl named Zoe, but that’s just details. Jane knows she’ll make Colin see that they could be so happy together!

This book snagged my attention immediately and did not let go for the entire wild ride through crazy town! Jane is absolutely unhinged, in a delusional, stalkery, no boundaries kind of way. Jane is an obsessive hot mess express, but there’s something kind of juicy and fun about being inside her mind. Fast paced with twists galore, I binged this book in a single day!

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Minotaur Books for providing me an advance copy of this book.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the ARC of So Happy Together in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a wild ride from start finish to say the very least. Jane’s character is a bit unhinged, which makes you simultaneously love and hate her. Her attachment disorder surrounding her ex, Colin, is a bit extreme as she justifies her intentions as she works to reunite with him, even though he has moved to a new relationship. Jane’s personality most certainly ventures into stalker territory and more certainly crosses personal boundaries as she tries to find a way back into Colin’s life through his new girlfriend, Zoe.

Shortly after finding herself back within Colin’s orbit, Jane learns that something nefarious may be at play regarding Colin and his past relationships. As Zoe and Jane grow closer, a plan is hatched to bring Colin to justice. Filled with twists and turns, it’s clear that Olivia Worley knows how to work a serious plot twist. All is most certainly not as it appears in Jane’s world and she’s going to have to make some questionable moral decisions in order to get to the bottom of it.

Getting inside Jane’s head at times was a real thrill because that girl’s moral compass certainly does not point due north. She’s a bit of a loose cannon and boundaries in their normal sense so not exist for her. I enjoyed her perspective on her personal reasoning, as twisted as it may have been. Overall, this was a fun read that left you feeling a bit unhinged due to the various personality disorders present here. In stores June 3rd, I highly recommend this to those of you who love a good psychological thriller.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book ahead of its publication date.
Slight spoilers ahead:




This was a super quick read. It drew me in from the start and kept my attention the whole time. As much as I want to scream at Jane and shake her out of get delusion about how Colin felt about her, I did still find myself rooting for her. What I really ended up rooting for was her friendship with Zoe. Although I had my suspicions about Zoe, the ending was still satisfying.

These characters are all delusional. Great read, 4 stars.
I have not read a thriller this quickly in a long time but let me tell you this had me hooked. The twists just kept coming!
I will definitely be reading more books from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley, Olivia Worley, and St. Martin's Press for the eARC. This was such a gripping thriller with intense stalker vibes that had me constantly questioning what was real. I found myself saying, “What is even happening?!” more than once. A wild, twisty ride from start to finish!

Mystery thriller. 1 Narcissistic man, 2 women, one with the obsession. Love triangle, Murder?, betrayal. So fun reading a book where the women is the obsessive stalker!

This was...fine? It was fast paced and kept me turning the oag e s, but I disliked Jane and really felt like the last 25% was unrealistic.

So Happy Together by Olivia Worley is a psychological thriller. Jane knows her and Colin are meant to be together—she just has to convince him. But when she sees him with another girl, she is willing to do anything to get him back.

I wanted to like this story but I just couldn’t stand the main character—from the very beginning. Right away Jane rubbed me the wrong way and it really turned me off to what might have been a good, twisty storyline.

I can’t get into this one and I think it’s all because of me and my slump so I’ll give it a 3 stars but I would recommend cause the things I’ve read so far sounds good!!

This novel is unhinged, messy, full of dizzying twists - and a totally obsessive beach read.

After only six dates, Colin breaks up with Jane, who is still fixated on him for reasons I don't understand. I guess her heart wants what it wants, but she could possibly give even Joe Goldberg some stalking tips. I shook my head in disbelief and occasional amusement over some of Jane's actions and strategies. Because of social media and an "accidental meeting", the lives of Jane, Zoe (the new GF), and Colin become intertwined in a weird and yet strangely gratifying way. Seriously, you can't tear your gaze away. Soon I suspected Jane might not be the only character with hidden motives - and that just made the story even more intriguing. After the murder the novel becomes a little darker than I expected, but it felt right under the circumstances.

Lies, secrets, murder, and a tornado of twists at the end make for a gripping read. Recommended for fans of the Netflix series You, stalkery tales, and cringe-worthy situations.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.  Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was a great story of obsession. I loved the NYC setting, the clothes, the parties. The stalking. And in the end, who is stalking whom?

This book did a good job of confusing me! In a good way. Jane just wanted to be in a relationship, specifically with Colin. I wasn't sure if I felt sad for Jane, or if she was an outright psychopath because of her stalkery ways. There was also Zoe, too perfect, and Colin, the guy who damaged girls loved to love. A part of the book centered on Zoe's art and Jane's playwriting skills, culminating in a pivotal scene.

Dating apps. Pfft!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an advance reader's copy.

So Happy Together is a fun and twisted ride! I was drawn in rather quickly. I loved the unreliability of the characters in the story because they made it impossible to predict the ending of the book. The storyline was well executed and the plot flowed well. If you are a fan of toxic relationships and friendships this is a great book to read. It’s got everything: drama, secrets, and many twists and turns.

Thank you to the publisher and also NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you to Minotaur Books for the e-arc of So Happy Together! This was not what I expected at all from the synopsis on the back. All the characters kept me guessing with their morals and what was going on. In the novel, Jane becomes a little obsessed with her ex and finds something one night that could change everything she thought of him. The story goes on from there. I liked the female friendship involved in the novel (which felt unlikely). However, it kinda felt like main character didn’t have much of a backbone. She rationalized a lot of what this guy did and gave him a lot of power over her. There were several times where I wanted to say, “Girl, stand UP!” There was also a lot of manipulation and discussion of past trauma in this book, so please check any trigger warnings. I would maybe recommend this book — it didn’t hit like I wanted it to.
3.5🌟

I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but once things started unraveling, I couldn’t stop reading. I enjoy twisty novels and this one didn't dissapoint. Interesting themes around friendship and societal pressures. This was an easy read and I look forward to reading more from Olivia Worley.
Thank you Netgalley for this advanced copy.

The FMC of this book, Jane, was a trainwreck from the first chapter. I hated everything she was doing. I rolled my eyes numerous times. But I could not stop reading.

Jane goes on some dates with Colin before he ends things with her. She is convinced he made a mistake and is determined to prove it to him. She infiltrates his life, befriends his current girlfriend, and dates his roommate. All the while, she thinks he's sending her messages with his eyes. She is crazy! She does start realizing that maybe something is off with Colin, and she wants to save him,

What I loved 😍: All of the characters were unreliable and kept me guessing the entire time. It was a fun mess of a book.

Why not 5 🌟? The ending left some things to be desired. I felt like some characters did things not in their nature.

Olivia Worley's So Happy Together is a thrilling and captivating read that brings a fresh twist to the psychological thriller genre. Reminiscent of You by Carolina Kepnes, this novel stands out by incorporating a dynamic female friendship that adds depth and excitement to the story.

From the very beginning, I was hooked by the intriguing plot and the well-developed characters. The friendship between the protagonists is a joy to read, evolving in unexpected ways and providing a strong emotional core to the narrative. Worley masterfully balances suspense with heartfelt moments, making the reader care deeply about the characters' fates.

The twists and turns throughout the book are wild and unpredictable, keeping me on the edge of my seat. Worley's writing style is engaging and immersive, making it easy to get lost in the world she has created. The pacing is perfect, with each chapter building tension and anticipation.

Overall, So Happy Together is a standout novel that showcases Olivia Worley's talent for crafting compelling stories. The blend of psychological suspense and the exploration of female friendship makes this book a must-read. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling and emotionally resonant read.

Let me start by saying that I would happily read another book by this author. The story gripped me from the start and held my attention the whole way through. The story itself had some issues but the pacing was spot on, even with some decently long chapters.

As for the story itself, it was a compelling premise with a trio of MCs; one FMC with some seriously obsessive tendencies, another who, despite her perfection, was a girl you’d hope to be friends with, and finally a cute and quirky, MMC, who may or may not be what we think he is. I loved how the author wove in Hamlet & Ophelia, making them their own kind of characters in this book.

Alas, there were a few issues, for me. The story felt chaotic at times, jumping from one scene to the next in a way that made me sometimes forgot the entire story is from one POV. It felt like all the right ingredients for a delicious thriller but the recipe didn’t quite come together. There was a twist and I can’t say I necessarily saw it coming, but I also didn’t feel totally satisfied. Finally, I probably could have done without the epilogue, though it was thought provoking in an existential way.

All in all, I was entertained, which, of course, was my desired outcome!

Thanks to NetGalley and Minotaur Books!

So Happy Together follows Jane and her obsession with her ex, Colin. Jane was an unreliable narrator & constantly had me wondering what was actually going on.

So Happy Together was a quick, easy read that had me hooked the entire time. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a thriller that isn’t too complicated to follow and could easily be binged in one sitting.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing me this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Why is it that when a man obsessively stalks a woman in a book, it's considered darkly romantic but when a woman does it, she seems unhinged? That's the question I kept asking myself as I read this book.
Enter Jane… a woman fixated on her ex, Colin, to an unsettling degree. She's determined to stay in his life, no matter what it takes and who she needs to get rid of. But when she uncovers the truth about who Colin really is, her obsessive behavior may start to seem more justified than I expected.
I was drawn in by the raw, gritiness of these characters. At times, I genuinely feared for everyone’s safety as Jane seemed always on the verge of snapping. But the real twist? By the end, she might just be the most rational one of them all. That unexpected twist in the narrative is exactly the kind of twist I live for.
