Thank you NetGalley for this ARC! This book is focused on Jane who becomes obsessed with a guy Colin who she dates a few times and she gets too serious for him, and he breaks it off. She is not ready to let this be her fate. As she tries to get back in with him there are a lot of twists and turns that keep you guessing. I did find Jane somewhat annoying with her obsession with Colin, but overall it was a solid read.

I liked the beginning and the end of this one. The middle felt a little messy. It felt like the author was trying to do too much, so I rolled my eyes many times. I enjoyed Zoe as a character, but I felt nothing for anyone else, so I had a difficult time caring about the outcome of the story.

Jane is obsessed with Colin, and they dated briefly before Colin moved on to Zoe. Jane doesn't get the memo and finds herself back in Colin's life, whether he likes it or not.

This one has secrets, lies, and shocking twists. Just when you think you have it figured out, another twist is thrown in there to make you question it all.

So Happy Together was a wild ride with multiple unreliable, delusional characters who kept me guessing about who was the most untrustworthy. Jane's obsession with Colin was messy and chaotic and although some twists I saw coming, there were some I was totally surprised by. There was so much crazy in this book, and I really enjoyed it for just that reason.

Jane and Colin went on six dates, and she thought everything was perfectโ€ฆ until he ended it. But Jane just knows theyโ€™re meant to be together ๐Ÿ’” So she sets out to win him back, even when he starts dating someone new.

Enter Zoe: beautiful, artistic, and sweet. But that doesnโ€™t stop Jane. She inserts herself into Zoeโ€™s life, and soon the lines between love, obsession, and revenge start to blur. Are Jane and Colin soulmates? Or is there something darker hiding beneath the surface? ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

This thriller is layered with lies, manipulation, and so many twists. Fast-paced and full of tension. Just when I thought I had it figured out, another surprise came out of nowhere.

Thank you NetGalley and St.Martins Publishing Group for the ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Jane falls in love with Colin through a dating app. They date for a bit and he ends it. Jane next sees him with beautiful Zoe. Jane is twinged by jealousy and befriends Zoe to get closer to Colin. The novel is full of unrealistic twists that are predictable, but not likely.

I wanted to love this book as I thought the plot was good and some of the twists worked. But, it fell flat for me.

This book was phenomenal! I gave it a 4.5/5 stars. I absolutely loved it. Throughout the whole book, the only thing that was going through my head was that sometimes being Delulu is the only solulu. When you first start this book, you think that Jane is on a mission to get her get back from Colin by going out on a date with another guy but quickly you learn that she is stalking Colin because he had moved on with Zoe. When Zoe befriends Jane and becomes actual friends with each other, we are driven in a world of lies, secret, and murder. This book had me screaming for both Jane and Zoe to not be stupid and then as the plot twist unfold I was switching on who to believe and who were considered liars. Jane, Zoe, and Colin are in a triangle but we all know how that works one always have to be neglected.

Great Read

I found this one to be more of a โ€œpopcorn thrillerโ€ rather than a serious thriller as it was fun and entertaining with alot of drama! This is a QUICK read, the story flows well and the chapters are short! There are tons of twists, some predictable and some unpredictable, and the story unfolds quick and strong!

If your a fan of the show YOU then this book is for you! Thank you so much to @minotaur_books for the gifted copy of this book and the cute matching candy hearts- swipe to see, these candies were ADORABLE! This book is available now๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐ŸŽ‰!

๐’๐˜๐๐Ž๐๐’๐ˆ๐’: โ€œ For twenty-four-year-old Jane, finding love in New York City is even harder than making it as a playwrightโ€”especially when all her swiping through the apps leads to one meaningless connection after another.

So when Jane meets Colin, a sweet software engineer, she canโ€™t believe her luck: theyโ€™re perfect for each other. Even when Colin breaks off their blooming relationship after six dates, Jane is certain this is just a stumbling block. Sheโ€™ll get him back. She knows she will.

That is, until Colin starts dating Zoeโ€”perfect, luminous, up-and-coming Brooklyn artist Zoe. Even worse, sheโ€™s actually kind of nice. But Zoe doesnโ€™t have what it takes to love Colin. Sheโ€™d never stay with him through thick and thin. All Jane has to do is prove it, and theyโ€™ll be so happy together.

But when Jane sneaks into Colinโ€™s apartment, she makes a shocking discoveryโ€”one that will ensnare them all in a dark and complicated web of lies, secrets, and murder.โ€

Actual Rating 3.5

This work is pretty exposition heavy, but the exposition was solidly filled with action and emotion in a way that didn't make it feel boring or a slog to get through. This approach worked really well to get us in the mind of the narrator, and oh what a mind. The more I read from her, the more delusional straying into unhinged it got, and I loved it.

While this work isn't plot heavy, there were only a few instances (in the 40 - 60% range) when it felt like the pace was a bit too slow for me. This is one of those reads where if you become invested in the protagonist, you won't be able to put it down. But if you don't have a connection to the protagonist, it probably won't work for you.

If you like contemporary fiction with unhinged characters that's difficult to put down, then you may enjoy this one. As with most modern thrillers, be prepared to suspend that disbelief to enjoy this one as a quick vacation read. I saw a few folks say this was a just like the show "You," but since I've never seen it and know nothing about it, I can't comment (but keep that in mind as it may affect your enjoyment of this one). My thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this work. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

<i>So Happy Together</I> is a twisted tail of a manipulative love triangle. How these three people crossed paths is one of those miracles of fiction. When I first started reading this, I kept comparing it to <i>You</i> but with a female main character. The more I read, the more unreliable and completely unbalanced all of the characters became.
Jane is head over heels in love with her ex. She is convinced he still wants her even after their breakup after their 6th date. They are clearly meant for each other. No matter what Colin does to try to tell her otherwise, she almost immediately is able to spin his words in a way that means she is struggling and still wants her. Enter Colin's new girlfriend Zoe. As if him having a new girlfriend wasn't enough to allow Jane to cut ties, she begins a friendship with Zoe. The more Jane and Zoe interact, the wilder their situations are. Especially when they both realize that Colin may have had something to do with the death of his college girlfriend.
The twists in this book just keep adding up. If you are looking for a delusional character development story, then this is the one for you.

Jane and Colin are soulmates, the only problem is Colin is not aware of this fact ... and neither is Zoe, Colins girlfriend.
When Jane sees the opening to slide back into Colins life she takes it, but soon finds herself in over her head when she learns her prince Charming is hiding something.

This book was a real page-turner, I was invested in the story from the beginning, even though I found most of the characters quite annoying.
The plot kept me engaged, but I have mixed feelings about the twist ... it felt like it spun a little out of control.
I also struggled with Janeโ€™s character; her actions and motivations felt inconsistent and in the end I found it hard to believe the direction her storyline went.

I did enjoy this one, but the ending of the book lost me.

Do you love a book with twists and turns? This book will keep you guessing until the very end. The book is fairly past paced, so buckle up

So Happy Together
by Olivia Worley

Jane and Colin are meant to be, he just doesnโ€™t know it yet. Jane will do ANYTHING to get her ex back.

FMC is completely unhinged and delusional and sheโ€™s not the only one.

I really enjoyed this book and the ending was spectacular.

3-3.5 stars-Zoey and Jane are obsessed with the same man. Jane dated him first, but after just six dates she was dumped for Zoey. What a coincidence that Jane runs into them on a night out and gets into Zoeyโ€™s good graces. I loved the first half of the book, the part where Jane will do anything to get her man back (and of course Zoey will understand and they will all be bffโ€™s happily ever after.)

Then things take a turn for the darker (and I am all in for the darker, but in this case it didnโ€™t work for me. This was a little bit too much unreliable narrator and a little too much suspension of belief for my liking! I know others have enjoyed the book, it just wasnโ€™t for me. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

Really enjoyed this one and definitely didn't see the ending coming. Jane seemed definitely delusional but there's a backstory and seems everyone else around her has issues too! Great ending twisties!

This book was just as good and I thought it was going to be!!! I did not guess a single twist. I love an unhinged, delusional female lead, and Jane was PERFECT! The twists caught me so off guard. I felt bamboozled.

Whoa. Okay, so I think this had the potential to be an incredible book. Parts of it were so well written and compelling (like the scene in the gallery of Zoe's show and Jane's script debut). Other parts fell a little flat and lacked depth. All three of the main characters were so weird and unreliable and a little creepy. But certain aspects lacked depth, Collin especially. I think maybe Worley tried to make too much happen, so the story was a tad all over the place. Gosh, it was so close to being amazing, but just missed the mark. I'm definitely going to keep my eye on Worley's books, though!

Many thanks to Netgalley and to St. Martins Press for the opportunity to read this ARC!

I love an unhinged and unreliable narrator. Itโ€™s fun to get into the brain of someone like that. I liked that this one felt like EVERYONE was a little bit unhinged and you didnโ€™t know if they were or if it was just Jane being unreliable. I wasnโ€™t super surprised by the ending but I love that the author kept you second guessing yourself until the very end. This is a book to go into without knowing too much. Itโ€™s a wild ride with lots of things going on. Itโ€™s a fun time. Itโ€™s insane and slightly all over the place but fun.

๐ŸŽง
I listened to the audiobook of So Happy Together. Michelle H. Lee did a great job of keeping the suspense and portraying an unhinged character. If you like audiobooks, I would definitely recommend this one.

Jane has had a tough time finding love. So when her and Colin break up, she really has a hard time with it and wants nothing more than to get him back. A little obsessive. Yes. Well, maybe more than a little.

Jane plans to try to run into Colin and ends up doing so, but heโ€™s with another woman. Jane ends up befriending the woman and boy do things get interesting from there!

Sit back and get ready for a wild ride. The ending will blow you away!!

Wow, this book remained surprising from beginning to end. I thoroughly enjoyed being surprised by the shifts in the story that made it unpredictable from start to finish. Itโ€™s a great read, similar to other great thrillers, but also unique in its own way. Jane, Zoe and Colin made for a fascinating read as facets of their characters were revealed over time.
