"So Happy Together" begins with an intriguing love triangle that quickly evolves into a gripping suspense thriller. The novel’s fast pacing pulls you in from the very first page, while the well-crafted characters add depth to the story.

The author masterfully weaves a tangled web of lies and secrets, creating a captivating atmosphere where every chapter unfolds with new surprises. However, I found Jane’s character transformation somewhat troubling. Initially portrayed as intelligent and resourceful, she becomes increasingly naive, which felt inconsistent and diminished her character by the end.

Despite this, the novel was a thrilling experience filled with unexpected twists and emotional depth. I would definitely recommend "So Happy Together" to fellow readers seeking a captivating blend of romance and suspense. Thank you to NetGalley for the free advanced copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

I usually love audiobooks from MacMillan Media, however, I simply couldn't get into this book. Maybe it was the narrator's voice or maybe it was the book's protagonist, I couldn't get past the first few chapters.

This story immediately intrigued me. Jane initially comes off as an unhinged stalker. I wasn't sure if I was scared of her, or if I pitied her. My view of her changed as the plot unfolded. I was engaged and entertained by the various twists. Is Jane deranged, or is she just an innocent seeker of the truth? I was continually trying to decipher who was lying and who was telling the truth. The story was original and kept me interested until the surprising conclusion. The narrator did an amazing job, bringing the story to life while adding a layer of intrigue and suspense. Thank you, NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for my audiobook.

So Happy Together Review!

Thank you so much St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for this gifted audio copy, in exchange for an honest review! So Happy Together was a 2.75/5 stars for me! I really wanted to love this one. At first it reminded me a lot of the book You, just a female character, which I absolutely ate up. After a bit though, the book started to drag and the ending fell short for me. I really enjoyed the inner dialogue and it often cracked me up. Overall, a fun stalker book, just fell a little short at the end.

Oh my gosh that ending was insane. This whole book makes you question the characters. I was never sure what would happen next. Overall the love story is weird and creepy and cringy. The twists from this book were very good and I enjoyed them a lot. If you're looking for a mystery, twist and turns, cringy characters, and a totally unexpected ending this book is for you.

Okay Olivia!

Stalking… but by her?

But yet she might not even be the shadiest one?

This book I cannot give anything away on because the plots definitely twist. Jaw drops multiple times.

So good.

But. O.M.GEE. Ben! Did we have to? Was it necessary? Whyyyyy? Ben is my actual favorite. Justice for Ben.

But seriously if you love some stalking, girl bonding, and a lot of gasps; read this book.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to read and review.

So Happy Together
Written by Olivia Worley
Narrated by Michelle H. Lee

Publishes June 3, 2025

Ok. Jane is UNHINGED. This book gave me totally vibes of Love Quinn from the Netflix series “YOU”. It was a fun book to listen to with all the twist and stalking and craziness. The narrator of this was so perfect and made it such a fun book to listen to!

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this ALC in exchange for my honest review. All words are my own.

I’m really struggling with the rating of this book. I was really enjoying it but then the ending was just a little bit too all over the place for me. I love a good twist but it just seemed like one too many.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. A plot that was mysterious and addictive. I would recommend this one.

Jane dates Colin, things end but Jane's obsession with him doesn't. For everyone who loves Netflix's You.

I really enjoyed reading this book, a nail- biting thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. What more can you ask for?

I had so much fun reading this! I swear Olivia Worley’s books getting better with every new release!

Jane is basically the female Joe Goldberg and I loved every second of being inside her head! This was messy, full of chaos, and before I knew it was over.

I recommend this to anyone looking for a quick, fast paced Thriller! I will definitely be checking out this author’s future books!

This book was middle of the road for me - there were a few things that were problematic but, for the most part I enjoyed the Single White Female-ness of it. While I didn't love any of the characters (Colin was GARBAGE), I'm not sure I was supposed to so, good job, I guess? Jane should have ditched all idea of Colin and just stuck with Zoe, who seemed like a much better catch, IMO).

The story ended up being too coincidental for me and the ending really wasn't great, but I do love an unreliable narrator and Jane was that in spades. Throw in a bit of a wonky feeling about Zoe, and you've got a couple unreliable ladies. As for Colin, I could not care less and / or see why both these gals were head over heels for him . . . until it kind of made sense, at least from Zoe's point of view. The ending left me a little cold but, as mentioned, a pretty solid three stars from me.

Michelle H. Lee is a new narrator for me and she did a fine job.

Listen, this book was delusional but not in a good way. I'm pretty sure this person has never heard a 25 year old speak ever. As someone that is 23 I can confidently say this dialogue was terrible. The other issue I had was that for a mystery/thriller there was no mystery to it at all. I was able to predict the ending way too easily and the entire time I was like I just need something to actually happen in this book. I loved the cover and the title but the actual book itself was a real struggle.

Jane knows she has finally found true love with Colin, after only six dates. The sixth of which is actually their last. But Jane is nothing if not persistent. Determined to get Colin back she ingratiates herself back into his life. No worries that he is dating sweet and beautiful Zoe...or that Zoe truly wants to be a friend to Jane. But when Jane discovers dark secrets in Colin's past, she knows there will be only one way to win his love.

This is a fast-paced intrigue with so many twist and turns you will never see them coming! Loved it!

I thought this was so fun! It gave me You vibes and it was so fast-paced that it kept me wanting to read more. I know some people are going to hate the ending, but I loved it. I thought I had the twists all figured out, but Worley kept adding twists on top of each other at the end, which was a fun surprise. I didn't always think some of the circumstances were realistic, particularly with the scene outside the comedy club where Jane has Colin's phone, but other than that, I enjoyed my time spent reading this novel.

Jane is an aspiring playright in NYC who believed she finally found love with Colin. But after 6 days he broke things off with her. But Jane doesn't let this blossoming love go and becomes increasingly obsessed with him, stalking him. Meanwhile, Colin has moved on to Zoe, and so Jane decides to get close to Zoe to know her enemy. But while digging into Colin, Jane discovers that Colin might be tied to a murder.

This was fun and enjoyable and I think I would have liked it a lot more if I were a few years younger.

This was fun!!! I love a domestic thriller and I think if you are new to them you will love this one. I kept making guesses and I felt one part was pretty predictable just because I’ve read so much of the genre

Not sure if it exists already, but I'm calling this book as part of a thriller subgenre called Delulu Thriller. Because it's exactly what it is: a delulu MC that gets so unhinged that you can't help but just shrug and go along for the ride. Because you become so invested and curious of how deep the hole she is going to dig and what foolishness will come out of this whole thing.

Mind you, it was definitely fun to get into this offbeat and deliciously delirious mindset of Jane and eventually of Zoe. The book's weariness, however, did eventually straighten out to be a great thriller by the end, but this ride took some delulu trips on the way. The title was so fitting and this was a great example of what it meant to have unreliable narrators. I listened to this on audiobook and it was done really well.

This was an interesting read. I really enjoyed the crazy protagonist. There were definitely some bumpy patches along the way, but I enjoyed this book (particularly the ending) and would read the author again.
