This was the perfect (almost) summer read.
I loved the writing style. The characters really came to life and felt so relatable. Jane’s dry wit was my absolute favorite. I’ve never loved a stalker so much!
The story is totally outlandish in the best way. I got through this super quickly because I didn’t want to stop reading.
The only part that felt unnecessary and like it didn’t quite fit was the surprise gallery room near the end.
Can’t wait to see what this author does next.

Really?!???? , I disliked the character so much!!!! She was a stalker girl, I fear Colin doesn’t even care what this girl do but she does, her name didn’t even stick to me because she mentions Colin’s way more than my kids call me mom, the story was fast paced but it bore me how stalking this character was, although this book was very well written I just didn’t like the girl that’s it, great story but annoying.

This is a very slow burner at the beginning. It does pick up once the intrigue begins. I found none of the characters to be likeable. Never really did form an attachment to Jane. Truthfully, I didn't like her from the get-go.
The story is very well developed. Not being able to connect with the 3 main characters lies with me. Ms. Worley gives enough information and background for someone to form some sort of relationship with them.

This book was a solid 3.75 rounded up. I genuinely was anxious and sweating at parts because I had no earthly idea what was going to happen until the end of the book. The way the author twisted the facts to match different versions of the story was captivating. Though, I think therapy might be a better option than killing people lol.
Thanks Net Galley 😎

I enjoyed this book! It was a quick read and the plot was more involved than I expected it to be. The feelings of Jane were so defined that I felt them myself at some places.

Im obsessed with the best book of 2025! I devoured it in one sitting, completely captivated by the story. The characters were so well-developed, and the plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put it down, even when my friends and family tried to distract me. The writing was engaging, and the author's style was unique. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a page-turner. Trust me, you won't regret it! It's a must-read for book lovers,

So Happy Together is a fast-paced, psychological thriller, which is exactly what I expect from Olivia Worley. This is the type of book you can inhale on a plane or at the beach, or just stay up into the night to finish it in one sitting.
Jane is obsessed with her ex Collin. It’s weird and creepy to read about her obsession and stalker behavior—not exactly endearing. When Jane meets Collin’s new girlfriend, she is initially skeptical, but slowly wrapped into becoming her friend.
As I read, I wondered, what lengths will Jane go to in order to win Collin back? What sort of creep is Collin? Is there something strange about Collin’s new girlfriend? There are lies, twists, and turns. Overall, a fun (and disturbing read).
Recommended. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fmc is a bit mental and delusional so it’s interesting to be in her head and see how she rationalizes red flag and rebuttal of her love interest. It’s cringy seeing her stalk him and his new gf. Each character was very thin and unmemorable. The story itself does keep you interested just to see what does it all lead too.

Jane is obsessed with Colin and can't seem to move on from their 2-month love affair. Jane quickly and very crafty worms her way into colins life and his new relationship. But once she finds something in his apartment, will she continue to be obsessed her will she unearth a dark secret.
Jane gave me very Joe Goldberg vibes (ifykyk), I sometimes found her a bit annoying and like girl come on but that was part of her and added a certain suspense to the story. There were enough twists and turns to keep me up at night but I feel like this had way more potential to go a little deeper and a little darker. I would have loved more backstory on Jane and her past lovers if she stalked any of them and the outcome, but all in all this is a great summer thriller.

So Happy Together is an unhinged thriller that follows one woman's obsession with a guy she just can't let go of...
Jane is an aspiring playwright in NYC who is happily dating Colin. But after six dates and their first time sleeping together, he ghosts her. Humiliated and hurt, Jane begins to stalk Colin and finds out he is now dating Zoe. Zoe is a pretty and perfect, a gifted artist, and an up and coming influencer. But Jane knows that she is not right for Colin. After all, Colin and Jane will be so happy together. He just needs to realize it.
Jane befriends Zoe and begins hanging out with Colin's friend group, much to Colin's chagrin. When Jane escalates her efforts to win back Colin and makes a shocking discovery in his apartment, she's going to need to use all of her skills to manufacture a happily ever after for them.
Olivia Worley creates a fun thriller with a lot of interesting twists and turns. She captures all the vibes of the "swipe right" dating culture and what's it's like to be a young and dating millennial in NYC. Jane's obsession is cringey and relatable-we've all been that person at one point or known someone that just won't let go of a relationship.
This is the perfect summertime thriller that's ideal for beach reading.

Thank you Net Galley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for a fair review.
I feel like this book has a lot of potential. With the success of You, I'm sure it was trying to give some of the same energy, but it lacked a little depth for me. I think the author was trying to do just a little too much and everything ended up feeling kind of forced. This could have used a little more fleshing out and character development, Colin was giving us nothing, and Jane maybe just needed a mental health check. It wasn't terrible, but could stand to be tightened up in a few areas. Three Stars.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Olivia Worley, and Minotaur Books for the gifted copy of So Happy Together. All opinions are my own.
This is my first Olivia Worley novel and it will definitely not be my last! I loved this one. It was so twisty and out there it had everything I love in a thriller. It was incredibly fast paced and I had trouble putting it down. The characters were just likable enough to have me sometimes rooting for them but then getting incredibly frustrated with them at the same time. I enjoy books where there are unreliable narrators and sometimes you are unsure if you want them to win or not or if you can even trust them at all. This was chaotic (in a good day), twisted, dark, and kept me guessing until the very end. It had popcorn thriller vibes but shed light on the dating culture we have in 2025 that I feel is important in the society we live in. I recommend this one if you are a thriller lover and need a fast paced read!

Jane has met her soul mate and for 6 short weeks she lives in bliss. Then the texts go unread, calls unanswered. Colin has moved on. He just doesn't realize he is her one. Her goal now is to help him figure it out.
Jane follows Colin and watches as his new relationship develops with Zoe. Zoe is an influencer and artist. Thru orchestrated events Jane attends a party at Colins apt. Zoe thinks she is a college friend and Colin does not clarify. Jane believes he is hiding his love.
As Zoe and Jane get closer the story turns to a death, lies, and family secrets.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

The story starts with a woman named Jane that dated Colin and he breaks up with her after six dates. But she thinks they are perfect together and she will stop at nothing to get him back. The story has such promise and there are some twists that I didn't see coming, but otherwise it fell a little flat for me. It was just disjointed at times and Colin's character was kind of flat. I did like the dynamic between Jane and Colin's current GF, Zoe. I did know there was something off about Zoe and kept waiting for the shoe to drop, but that was a twist that I didn't see coming. I will also say that the ending saved this book for me. The last quarter of this book was a quick page turner and it kept your attention heightened.
THank you Net Galley and Minotaur Books for an ARC in return for an honest review.

So Happy Together completely pulled me in. Jane is one of those characters you’re not sure whether to root for or run from—she’s messy, obsessive, and deeply convinced that Colin is “the one,” even after he dumps her. Watching her try to win him back (especially once Zoe, the new girlfriend, enters the picture) is like watching a slow-motion car crash: you can’t look away, even when you know it’s heading somewhere dark.
The story is full of sharp turns, and just when I thought I had it figured out, it veered off in another direction. The writing is fast-paced and smart, with just enough bite to keep things edgy without going overboard. It reminded me a bit of You mixed with Promising Young Woman—dark, twisty, and weirdly fun.
There were a couple of moments that stretched believability, but honestly, I didn’t mind. I was too caught up in the drama, the secrets, and that wild reveal. It’s one of those books you keep thinking about after you’ve finished.
If you like psychological thrillers with complicated women and a touch of obsession, this one’s for you.
Thank you Author, NetGalley, and St. Martin’s Press | Minotaur Books for gifting me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book was okay. The FMC Jane was delusional and unhinged which I love but Colin was a bit bland so I didn't see the appeal. There was a lot going on in this book and it felt like some of it could have been cut out.. overall though it was enjoyable

I enjoyed the last half of the book. The first half was a little chaotic and a lot to follow. I'm glad I pushed through and finished it though
Thanks to NetGallery for this Arc

3.5 out of 5 stars
So Happy Together by Olivia Worley starts off strong with a compelling premise and sharp social commentary, blending reality TV drama with psychological suspense. The story hooks you early as the cast of an influencer reunion show finds themselves trapped on an island with secrets unraveling fast.
I really enjoyed the first half—the pacing was brisk, the stakes were clear, and the character dynamics kept me intrigued. However, the second half lost a bit of that momentum for me. Some of the twists felt a little rushed or underdeveloped, and the suspense started to fizzle just when it should have been peaking.
That said, Worley’s writing is punchy and fun, and the book has a lot to say about performative personas and internet fame. It’s a quick, entertaining read with some thoughtful moments, even if it didn’t fully stick the landing.

This book was so good! As soon as I read the first line in the description I was hooked. This was so twisty and absolutely impossible to put down!

So Happy Together by Olivia Worley follows Jane as she struggles through a break-up with Colin, and starts to obsess over him. After some light stalking ensues, a series of crazy events start to unravel as Jane keeps inserting herself deeper into Colin’s life.
This book was so engaging and full of twists and turns (my favorite). While Colin’s character lacked depth, Jane’s character made up for it. In a similar vein as Joe Goldberg, we get to live inside her head throughout the book, and I found it a very interesting place to live. It may have jumped around a bit at times, but I couldn’t get enough and found myself reading well into the night to see what would happen next.
While I know that there are many reviews here that thought the story lacked and was too confusing, I felt just the opposite. I found it interesting and addictive. If you love the YOU series by Caroline Kepnes, I would definitely recommend checking out So Happy Together.
I’m really looking forward to checking out more by Olivia Worley, as I loved her writing style. Many thanks to the Author, NetGalley, and St. Martin’s Press | Minotaur Books for gifting me an ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own and I truly enjoyed this one!
