OMG, I couldn't put this one down once I got the time! The twists and turns were absolutely INSANE. Imagine this: A girl totally obsessed with a guy she dated for only two months decides to wiggle her way into his current relationship. How? By befriending his new girlfriend, of course! But oh, the secrets they all keep.

Murder. Mystery. Stalking. Lies. This book has it all! I was thoroughly captivated from start to finish. I went back and forth trying to figure out who the real villain was, but that final twist? It shook me to my core! If you're a fan of psychological thrillers that keep you guessing, "So Happy Together" is a must-read. Beautiful written!

3.5 stars

Jane went on six dates with Colin and then it was over. She’s heartbroken and convinced that they are meant to be. She sets up dating app dates for each week at the same bar/restaurant hoping she will see him (hoping he will realize that he misses her). When she finally “runs into him”, he’s on a date with Zoe, clearly having moved on. Jane becomes obsessed with Colin’s new love, and finds a way to run into them, once again convinced that Colin will see what he’s missing.

However, there’s so much more to this story than Jane wanting to get close to Colin. Jane, Colin, and Zoe are connected in a myriad of ways, with each connection revealing more deception. The beginning of the story feels like it fits in the romance genre where I wasn’t sure what I wanted for Jane. Then about halfway through, the tone of the story shifts to a mystery/thriller and I questioned all the characters. There are some twists toward the end.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Minotaur Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC via NetGalley but opinions are my own. This book is kind of a slow burn and went in a different direction than I was expecting. I thought it would be more of a rom-com vibe with an overly attached Jane, but there’s quite a bit more to unpack here. Several twisty turns in the last 1/3 of the book, and then even more at the very end. Side note- They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but I have to say this one is pretty cute, and would definitely lead to me picking the book up! Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

A twisty, suspenseful story about what happens when Colin breaks up with Jane. This isn’t just a regular breakup - Jane KNOWS that her and Colin are supposed to be together; they’re soulmates. Even his new girlfriend is all wrong for him. And, Jane is going to get him back no matter what it takes.

This book was unputdownable! Held my interest from start to finish, and kept me up past bedtime! Thanks for the opportunity to read!

They style was chilling, I never knew what was coming next except it was going to be suspenseful! Highly recommend. Will be purchasing for libraries.

So Happy Together by Olivia Worley is a charming and heartfelt read that kept me hooked from start to finish. The chemistry between Riley and Max is so natural, and I really loved watching their relationship unfold. Worley does a great job balancing humor with deeper moments, making the characters feel real and relatable. While the pacing slows a bit in parts, the story overall is sweet and uplifting. A perfect feel-good romance that I highly recommend! 4 stars.

I enjoyed So Happy Together by Olivia Worley. Jane is our unreliable narrator who is clearly fixated on Colin. After six dates with Jane, Colin breaks things off. Jane is convinced he is her soulmate and that it's only a matter of time till he realizes that. Her obsession is complicated by Colin's new girlfriend Zoe. A very twisty story follows. Not everything is as it seems. This was a fun read and I highly recommend it. I look forward to Olivia Worley's next book.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this digital ARC.

Ooooh man...where do I even start? This had BIG Joe vibes from "You" - the writing was so well done that it was difficult to keep reading at some points because I couldn't STAND the narrator, even though that was the entire point!! This was definitely more of a slow burn rather than something that picks up with action right from the start, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Plenty of twists that have you second guessing what really happened by the end. Thanks so much for the ARC!

Love love love
Could not put it down!!!!!
Loved the story and the characters
10 stars for me. You need to run to get this book. This was my first book from this other so I will check out her other books

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Obsessive FMC
Stalker Ex-Girlfriend
Unreliable Narrator

Jane (our FMC) is a obsessed with her ex-boyfriend and is so desperate to be part of his life, she befriends his current girlfriend.
Throughout this one, it mostly felt like Jane was pining over Colin and Zoe was just oblivious to the weird tension. While there are some hints throughout that something bigger than a stalker ex girlfriend is going on, nothing really happened until 80% in.
Overall, I felt this one was a miss for me because I need something big to happen much earlier on to keep my attention (100% a me problem).

If you don't mind a super slow burn and enjoy obsessive FMC, you should add So Happy Together to your TBR!

This book, this book, this book.... there were times I disliked our narrator, Jane, so very much that I questioned my ability to finish the book. She was delusional at best, and an insufferable stalker with psychopathic tendencies at worst. . . I'm glad I continued reading, however, because once it was explained WHY Jane was the way she way, things made much more sense, and I was able to have much more empathy for her. In the end, I truly enjoyed this book, and my only real complaint is that it may be written for a slightly younger demographic, which of course isn't the books fault. The author did a great job of developing Jane into an adult based on her devastating childhood; the pacing of the story was great; the ending had a twist that I didn't see coming- AT ALL. Will I be recommending this? Absolutely! I'm also going to keep an eye out for books by Olivia Worley in the future. I always love finding books by new authors (either debut or "new" to me), to add to my reading list, and that's precisely where she will be! Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for allowing me an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinions.

This delicious novel is so twisty and clever that as the reader you never know from page to page who is doing what to whom and who is actually the bad guy ( or girl). What seems to be a conventional lonely girl in the big city get obsessed with a boy quickly changes as we get to meet the characters in play and we see that each has secrets that they would not want anyone to know. I do not want to give away any spoilers but this is crazy ride that will keep surprising you right up to the last page.

I enjoyed this one so much! From the start you are sucked into the story. This was filled with constant twists that had me completely guessing. I had an idea who the bad guy was going to be and was correct, but thought it was going to end in a completely different way than it did. This one had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

A bit of a popcorn read, but not in a bad way. A fun thriller with some interesting writing and compelling plot points. The protagonist’s first person narration is full of delusion which cleverly creates great tension between the reader and the main character. 3 Stars.

This book has some serious "Single White Female" vibes with Freida McFadden characteristic twists and turns near the end. The reveals come quickly and in different directions starting at the 70-75% mark. Jane's internal dialogue suggests she is either insane, or perhaps just one of us girls who is driven insane by the shitty men in our lives

This is a book about Jane, who is a playwright in New York, who is trying to find her Mr. Right. When she meets Colin she thinks he’s it, but after several dates he dumps her and she wants to find out why. Jane becomes friends with Colin’s new girlfriend, Zoe and ends up dating Colin’s roommate. However, Colin turns out to be more than meets the eye.
This is an exciting thriller, that takes you on a lot of twists and turns. If you like how done it thrillers, then I’d recommend this book.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC opportunity ❤️

I’ve read a couple of books with “unreliable” characters, to say the least, and this has to be one of my favorites so far! The obsession in this book rivaled the likes of Fatal Attraction and it was really good! This book had me guessing so much and I loved the ending, which is not always the case in a thriller for me.

What’s a girl to do when she loves you, but you want nothing to do with her? Obviously, she must then stalk your social media, date your roommate/best friend, and become close friends with your current girlfriend. Jane was definitely an interesting character to be inside of the mind of.

WOW! This book is so good! I loved every minute of it. The obsession was insane and I could relate. I loved the ending and how it all plays out.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, Minotaur Books, and Olivia Worley for the ARC of this book!

Jane, a 24 year old New Yorker, has found her love match in Colin, a software engineer she met on an app. The only problem? Colin doesn’t think so. When he ends things after a handful of dates, Jane enters a chaotic spiral of next-level delusions, all while falling reluctantly into friendship with Colin’s girlfriend, Zoe, and realizing nothing is as it seems.

The voice of Jane, our unhinged yet captivating unreliable narrator, glides effortlessly across the page, making you want to keep reading, wondering what crazy thing is going to happen next.

We’re pulled along for the ride as she morphs herself around Colin, in every attempt to lure him back into her life — while falling deeper into Zoe’s. Meanwhile, Worley morphs Jane on the page into someone we can’t help rooting for, even if we know we shouldn’t.

Worley’s writing carries easily, packed full of humor without being over the top. Jane’s little quips in her internal dialogue killed me.

And the ending … I know people say it all the time, but I did not see it coming.

This is the Gen-Z adult thriller that we’ve been waiting for. I loved all the little generational Easter eggs, like Jane’s heavy use of TikTok and Colin reading the Percy Jackson series.

So many thrillers are written by older writers featuring older characters that are hard to dive into. This really is a thriller for our generation, and I can’t wait to read more of Olivia Worley’s writing.

So Happy Together comes out June 3, 2025, and I can’t recommend it enough!
