Perfect for fans of You by Caroline Kepnes, So Happy Together is a creepy and suspenseful story of love and obsession.

Don't go into this one expecting sympathetic and relatable characters. This is one of those books where everyone tries to out-creepy the other, and you can't figure out who is lying but it might just be everyone! Great for a summer beach read.

My Goodreads review is linked and I will come back and link my website review as well!

An unputdownable & twisty read!
This one had me hooked, and I was surprisingly happy with the single POV! I'm usually a sucker for multiple POV, but I found only having the one for this story really worked. I enjoyed the pacing, chapter length, and all of the character.
I settled on 4 stars because the story wasn't the most original, so it didn't blow me away with the reveals, but it was still a great read that I would definitely recommend.
Thank you to the publisher for the gifted ARC

A hilariously unhinged read. Sadly I can see this coming to fruition with some of the perpetually single gals I know in the City if pushed to the edge!

3/3.5 stars rounded up to 4 bc I read this in basically one sitting in less than 6hrs.

The first 50% is setting the scene and that scene is that Jane really needs to see a therapist and read the room. She’s absolutely obsessed with her ex Colin after only 6 dates and now he has moved on with a social media/artist name Zoe. Jane does what every normal person does after heartbreak and stalks Colin and Zoe on social media. Yet, she takes it even farther and tries to “randomly” run into them which turns out to Jane’s surprise a friendship between her and Zoe.

Jane will literally do anything she can to make Colin finally take her back, whether she’s delusional or not, you’ll have to read the book to find out. But along the way Jane might just realize that Colin might not be exactly who she thinks he is. And he might be not only lying about his past but also might be lying to everyone he knows. Then a murder happens to someone both Jane and Colin know, will this bring Colin finally back to Jane? Or will the truth finally come out about who is lying and who is not who they say they are?

This book was more stalker ex than thriller, but it still kept me wanting to read the next chapter and get invested, especially when blood is now on someone or someone’s hands. I would totally read another romance mystery again from this author!

ARC review • pub date 06.03.25

I really enjoyed this book! Many of my favorite reads have been unhinged characters that are obsessed with an ex- and while this one fit that bill, it also had a unique twist where the guy she’s after may also be a murderer 👀

Jane just knows that Colin is her soulmate - but he broke her heart and has moved on. She “accidentally” runs into him & his new girlfriend Zoe - and ends up becoming really close to her while making Colin extremely uncomfortable.

This was a fast paced & juicy read - and I ate it up. Definitely check this one out!

So Happy Together is about two females obsessed with the same guy. This is a classic thriller with all the twists and turns that will keep you reading well into the night. The book kept me hooked and kept me guessing until
the end. I couldn’t figure out who was telling the truth. What a fun great read!

This was an incredible story with a lot of twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. I was intrigued the entire time! If you think you know where it's going and THEN oh no, you were wrong for sure! Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

4.5/5
Uhhhhh what did I just read?! That was a TRIP. I was SURE I knew where things were going but boy was I wrong.

My thanks to Net Galley and St Martin's for this arc but this was a dnf at 25% for me. I think I was not the target audience for this book being older. I could not connect with Jane s immaturity and it seemed to be all over the place. Her behavior over a few dates was childish. Had to move on.. Can't recommend.

What the actual fudge did I just read and why did I absolutely love it? This was a wild, chaotic, totally unexpected ride from start to finish. I have no idea how to describe it without sounding unhinged, but somehow, it all worked. I’m completely speechless… and also completely obsessed.

This was a wild ride. One I don’t know I wanted to be on.
I feel like this story was all over the place. At first I thought I got it, and then it would switch directions.
Good and bad with thrillers sometimes.
Jane loves Colin. Her boyfriend of 6 short dates. When he breaks up with her she becomes obsessed with getting him back and making him realize he’s the one.
Becoming the best friend of his new girlfriend Zoe shouldn’t be on her list of things to do right? Nope, but it happens. Will they, won’t they? That’s honestly about to be the least of her problems.
Want something kind of different? Read this!
Thanks netgalley for the arc!

Intensely obsessive and creepy… and yet I couldn’t put it down! Love that I couldn’t predict what would happen next—even on the last page.

(Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.)

Set in NYC, 24 year old playwright-wannabe, Jane, dates and gets dumped by 24 year old Colin. She refuses to believe they’re over and starts to “accidentally” happen upon places he might be when he finds out he’s already moved on with Zoe, an artist with a big following. Jane refuses to admit things are over with Colin and inserts herself right into his life.

First of all, Jane-get over it! You’re wasting your prettiest years on a guy without a personality. Zoe and Jane are kind of weird and predictable and Colin has no depth. The story line is…fine. It didn’t draw me in but the author’s writing is very easy to read and has good pacing. The cover is perfection.

Read if you like:
➡️ thrillers set in NYC
➡️ stalkers
➡️ a book with a twist
➡️ a good appreciation for the Oxford comma

Thank you St. Martin’s Press, Olivia Worley, and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book was a thriller that kept you on your toes and guessing until the end. It was very twisted and fast paced and once I started the book I couldn’t stop reading until the very end!

I really enjoyed the beginning of this thriller and initially found the storytelling addictive and Jane an interesting MC. But as I kept reading, the story started going in a direction that was too predictable, Jane got more and more annoying, and Colin's character remained hollow and boring. Worley's writing was solid, however, so I could see myself picking up another book of hers in the future.

I really enjoyed So Happy Together! Olivia Worley masterfully blends psychological suspense with dark humor, crafting a story that’s both gripping and unsettling. The protagonist, Jane, is a 24-year-old playwright whose obsession with her ex-boyfriend, Colin, leads her down a path filled with secrets, lies, and unexpected twists. Worley’s portrayal of Jane’s descent into obsession is both compelling and chilling, making it hard to put the book down. The narrative’s twists kept me on my toes, and the ending left me surprised, yet satisfied. If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers this book is a must-read.

So Happy Together is set to be published on June 3, 2025 . Thank you NetGalley and Minotaur Books for the E-Arc of So Happy Together in exchange for my honest opinion

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.
Expected publication date: June 5, 2025
As a struggling playwright in New York City, twenty-four-year-old Jane thinks all of her dreams come true when she meets the love of her life, Colin. Colin and Jane were made for each other and Jane knows they’re destined to be together- even if Colin doesn’t. It isn’t until Colin starts dating perfect, beautiful Zoe, that Jane realizes Colin may need a bit of a nudge to understand that Jane is the one for him. So, Jane infiltrates Zoe’s life, becoming her close friend, trying to get into Colin’s life in whatever way she can. But Jane underestimates Zoe and is forced to make a deadly choice when she realizes just who Zoe is, and what she’s after.
Olivia Worley’s novel, “So Happy Together” is a passionate, clever novel about obsession and unrequited love. Dark and dangerous, Worley creates a page-turning, suspense-filled story about the search for the illustrious “soulmate”.
After a few dates with Jane, she falls for Colin, hard, even though it is clear Colin doesn’t reciprocate when he shows up to a restaurant with Zoe on his arm. Readers are torn between feelings of sympathy and pity for Jane, and feelings of support, hoping that she gets what she so obviously wants. Colin is nothing special to write home about, but he’s not a complete loser, and, combined with Jane’s horrible childhood trauma, it’s easy to see why Jane falls for him so hard. Worley has given Jane the perfect backstory, without making her weak or naïve, making her the ideal candidate to fall prey to someone who shows her attention.
“Together” has bodies dropping left and right, and Worley doesn’t give any obvious clues, so we’re left guessing until the final pages, and even then, the story carries on, adding a final twist that left me gasping. Could Colin be the person Jane thinks he is or does he have a dark side? Who is Zoe, really? The speculation keeps on piling up and Worley chose the ideal way to wrap up the ending, providing a satiating conclusion.
Worley’s writing is gripping and tense, with strong plot and character development. I have read all of Worley’s previous novels, “The Debutantes” and “People to Follow” and found her writing refreshing and addictive, which is the case with her newest novel as well. I highly recommend checking out “So Happy Together”, or one of Worley’s other works, if you are looking for a read that is strong on suspense with a well-formed plot and powerful conclusion.

3 stars

The first half of this was great.
The story follows Jane, a delusional ex-fling of a guy named Colin.
She spots him while out on a date after he ghosted her. She somehow concocts in her mind that he loves and wants her back. So, she befriends his new girlfriend and injects herself into his friend circle

This had so much potential, but everything went downhill for me at part II … like what?? I don’t even words to describe what happened. I feel like part I and part II were two completely different books.
3 stars because the first half was good, and I did like how things wrapped up the end (although it was predictable)
