Release Date: June 3, 2025
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—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 can’t believe her luck: they’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. She’ll get him back. She knows she will.
That is, until Colin starts dating Zoe—perfect, luminous, up-and-coming Brooklyn artist Zoe. Even worse, she’s actually kind of nice. But Zoe doesn’t have what it takes to love Colin. She’d never stay with him through thick and thin. 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 and complicated web of lies, secrets, and murder.
Unrelentingly twisty and utterly compelling, So Happy Together is an unputdownable, shattering read for fans of You, Riley Sager, and Promising Young Woman.
Reader beware....entering crazy town...but so compelling!
Have you ever been so obsessed with a guy after he breaks up with you, desperately wanting him to fall back in love with you?
This is what our protagonist, Jane, is dealing with. Jane, a playwright, meets Colin, a software engineer, and feels an instant connection. After six great dates, they sleep together. The next day, Colin goes MIA and soon dumps her. Yet, Jane can’t let him go. She’s convinced they belong together.
Jane devises a plan for a “fortuitous” meeting with Colin, arranging to be on a date with another guy when she sees him again. What she doesn’t expect is that Colin is also on a date with a new girl, Zoe, a confident, up-and-coming artist.
This doesn’t deter Jane. She believes she can make Colin fall in love with her again, even as she forms a budding friendship with Zoe. When Colin returns to Jane, Zoe will understand, right? Can Jane pull it off?
So many personality disorders in this novel! Jane is a compelling (and delusional) character I couldn’t stop watching. Her obsession with Colin made it painful to see her throw herself at him repeatedly. I wanted to yell at her to let him go—he wasn’t worth it. Some scenes made me squirm for her. Michelle H. Lee, the audiobook narrator, portrayed her brilliantly.
The few twists in So Happy Together were well-executed, if not always believable.
If you’re looking for a fictional, compelling, deranged character to follow, this novel hits the mark.
Cliffhanger: No
4/5 Fangs
