A Most Anticipated Mystery/Thriller by Goodreads, People, SheReads, and more Jane and Colin are soulmates. He just doesn't know it yet.
For twenty-four-year-old Jane, finding love in New York City is even harder than making it as a playwright. So when Jane meets Colin, she can't believe her luck: they're perfect for each other. Even when Colin breaks off their relationship after six dates, Jane knows this is just a stumbling block. She'll get him back. She knows she will. That is, until Colin starts dating Zoe--perfect, luminous Zoe. Even worse, she's actually kind of nice. But Zoe doesn't have what it takes to love Colin. All Jane has to do is prove it, and they'll be so happy together. But when Jane sneaks into Colin's apartment, she makes a shocking discovery--one that will ensnare them all in a dark web of lies, secrets, and murder. Unrelentingly twisty and utterly compelling, So Happy Together is an unputdownable, shattering read--a riveting blend of You, Riley Sager, and Promising Young Woman. Some hearts get broken, some get even.
A pinch of obsession, a cup of delusion, and a couple teaspoons of manifesting the present/future that you desire and you sum up Jane very well in this highly entertaining story of being with the one you are meant to be with (even if he is currently dating another girl) and not letting reality get in the way. Now, Jane actually is not the most delusional woman I have read about this year, she does seem halfway in touch with the real world and that is what makes this story fun. I love what she and Zoe do and felt that they make a much better matched pair than her and Colin and so I enjoyed the twists that this story took, murder, cover ups, lies, mysterious texting from another woman in Colin's life, and don't forget the presentation of Ophelia starring both Zoe and Jane. Is it very realistic? Nope, not even if you live in New York, especially with the dealing of the dead bodies, but it was still fun to read and time went by quickly as I raced to get to the end to see who would end up still alive and I definitely got a good giggle out of Jane's last twisting of the truth so that it could be a happy ending.
So, yes, entertaining, if you like reading about women in their own little worlds and not get annoyed about how they twist it all to make sure it still means she gets the guy, and even a bit of murder won't stop her!
