This book was right up my alley! Don’t be deceived by the adorable cover. This book is totally wild. But wild in a kind of good demented way. It really stood out to me because I’m a theatre girl and our main character Jane is also into theatre.

Where we differ is that I’m not a creepy stalker. Jane went on 6 dates with Colin and thought he was The One. He suddenly called it off and Jane plotted and planned how to win him back. (Enter her stalker phase) Colin starts dating perfect Zoe, all kinds of things start to happen, and you’re left wondering what you just read.

I actually listed to this one. Thanks Macmillan Audio for the advanced copy of the audiobook. Michelle H. Lee did a phenomenal job with the narration.

I would definitely read another book by Olivia Worley. I would be interested to see what else she’s got going on in that mind of hers.

Special thanks to NetGally for the advanced listening copy of this book.

🌟🌟🌟🌟
Jane and Colin were destined to be together…At least Jane thought so. Colin however, had other ideas, breaking up with Jane after a handful of dates. Will Jane fade quietly into the background? Not a chance!

🙋🏻‍♀️First of all, please indulge me a moment to highlight that our leading lady is named Jane. This is THE BEST name for all my favorite female off kilter pseudo-sociopathic characters. Go figure! So as soon as I saw “Jane” I was all in!

Okay, thank you for allowing me that small diversion.🥰
Now back to the book.

Colin has moved on to a new relationship with the beautiful Zoe. Jane finds herself accidentally befriending Zoe and soon realizes this is the perfect way to keep an eye on Colin! (Clever but devious!)

Loved the premise and the characters more than delivered! The storyline went off in a direction I hadn’t anticipated, but I managed to quickly switch mental gears and went along for the ride!

🎧: Michelle H. Lee provided the narration and gave a superb performance!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio

I didn’t hate this book but I also didn’t love it. The end was twisty and I did not see that coming but the rest of the book lacked in excitement. I also didn’t like any of the characters.

Jane believes she and Colin are meant to be together. However, after six dates, Colin breaks things off with Jane and begins seeing Zoe. Jane is determined to win him back and becomes obsessed with Colin. Then, she discovers a dark secret that will impact everyone involved. Will Jane be able to prove that she and Colin are meant to be so happy together?

This was my third book by Olivia Worley. I loved the concept of this book, but the delivery was not there for me. The characters felt flat and undeveloped. I didn’t ever grow to care for any of the characters or truly understand their motives. I would have loved more development for all the characters, especially Colin. Even though I felt the book fell flat, the audio was amazing. The narrator, Michelle H. Lee, did a fantastic job! Overall, I give this one 2.5/5 stars. If you like unreliable narrators and stalker vibes, this thriller is for you!

This book was basically a delusional diary of a girl obsessed with a guy who lost interest in her. I kept hoping the point of view would change, that something would change, but it continued on in the same annoying vein. The author has promise in her writing, but the plot and main character leave much to be desired. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc and alc.

Unfortunately. compared to Olivia Worley's other books, this one fell flat for me. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and if I am being honest found plot to be confusing to a certain extent. I did like the audiobook narrator though.

This is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into obsession, deception, and the complexities of modern relationships. It's also Worley's adult debut. The story follows Jane, a 24-year-old aspiring playwright in New York City, who becomes fixated on Colin, a software engineer she briefly dated. When Colin starts seeing Zoe, a talented artist, Jane's obsession intensifies, leading her to infiltrate their lives in a bid to reclaim Colin's affection. However, her actions uncover dark secrets that entangle all three characters in a web of lies and murder.
Worley's writing is sharp and immersive, capturing the nuances of emotional manipulation and the dangers of unchecked desire. The novel's pacing keeps readers on edge, with unexpected twists that challenge perceptions and keep the narrative unpredictable. So Happy Together is a compelling read for fans of psychological thrillers, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of love and obsession in the digital age.

So Happy Together is a fun, messy and twisty thriller. Jane is obsessed with Colin, whom she dated for a bit and is currently dating Zoe. Jane knows it's a matter of time before Colin realizes what he lost. Cue in the unhinged chaos that follows. I found this one rather fun and gripping.

What a messy, twisted, and fun book! Jane is chaotic and came across as a stalker throughout the bulk of the book. Colin, the MMC, seemed bleh to me and it made me wonder why two women were so into him. Enter, Zoe, the girlfriend who befriends Jane. Although it was a thriller there were times that dragged a little, I felt there could have been more of the past twisted in, but the ending nailed it.

This book is an amazing psychological thriller that puts you in perspective of a obsessive female main character. She obsesses over a man who doesn’t care for her, but to her everything he does no matter what is all for her. This book was amazing at keeping you guessing whats real and whats in her head. The narrator played the part perfectly and was voiced at a perfect pace to listen to. The author was really good at keeping the ending predictable but unpredictable at the same time. Once you think you have an answer you don’t.

I really, really did not like this book. It was 100% not for me. I kept listening, hoping it would get better, but unfortunately it did not. The characters were young and immature and unbelievable. Ugh. I feel like I need to watch a really happy movie now. This was not for me.

I listened to the audiobook for this one and while I liked the mystery story quite a bit, but the book itself was a little hard to read at times. The narrator did a good job bringing the character to life, but that character was hard to like and even listen to. Jane is in love and the fact that her boyfriend broke up with her before they could even become official is a minor detail. She creates plans to show him what he is missing and accidentally bumps into his new girlfriend Zoey. Zoey befriends Jane which works for her motivation to convince Colin they are meant to be soulmates. Jane stubbornly turns every red flag into a promise for something good to come which was hard for me. I don’t like watching someone get gaslit and this character almost did it to herself. I will admit the twist at the end was excellent and helped make up for a lot of my earlier frustration. Overall this book wasn’t bad and I’d try this author again.

Honestly not entirely sure how I feel about this one.

For a majority of the story I was so annoyed by the psychotic fmc. Still am, to be honest. But after hearing the full story of her past, I guess I’m a little sympathetic, but still find her to be irritating.

I sort of saw the twist coming, so that was a bit predictable.

The very last chapter did send me for a bit of a surprise though.

This is my first book by Olivia Worley. I can’t say I loved it, but I definitely didn’t hate it either. I think had Jane not been overly obsessed with Colin, I couldn’t found this to be super enjoyable; but her obsession was eye-rolling and hard to swallow.

This thriller comes out June 3, 2025 and while I can’t say I’ll be buying a copy for my shelves, it may be worth checking out if you’re into crazy stalkers. Worley does a good job at leading the reading astray in some aspects.

Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the ALC of SO HAPPY TOGETHER. I can see this book being a highly requested one this summer.

3 stars for SO HAPPY TOGETHER by Olivia Worley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A twisty psychological thriller! So Happy Together follows Jane as she stalks (for lack of a better word) her ex, Colin—only to uncover far more than she ever expected. The story is packed with tension, dark surprises, and emotional complexity. The narrator was fantastic, capturing Jane’s spiraling mindset and keeping the suspense alive throughout. A few plot points felt a bit over the top, but overall, it’s a gripping listen that fans of unreliable narrators and domestic thrillers will love.

This sounded like such a great premise for a fun thriller.

Unfortunately, it ended up being a DNF for me. The characters were very flat, and I found them to be quite annoying actually. The whole thing was so over the top, which isn't always a bad thing, but it needs to be more engaging and entertaining if it's over the top. Nothing seemed to be happening to draw me in or make me want to keep reading. I tried to get into it, but after 25%, I just didn't want to keep going.

This book was kind of all over the place. The entire time I just kept thinking,'Why is she obsessed with Colin? What is so special about him?' As far as I can tell, there's nothing special and she just latched onto him.

I am not a fan of unreliable narrators although I know some people love that. Just know that there are multiple unreliable narrators in this book. Or maybe they just weren't developed enough to be reliable. 3.5 ⭐️ rounded up because I was entertained if confused for most of the book and the narrator was fantastic.

I just finished an enjoyable audiobook. So Happy Together by Olivia Worley was very entertaining. It's available next week.
