So Happy Together was such a twisted and wild ride. Obsession that leads to other obsessions had me questioning so many things. Everyone seemed to be hiding so much, but definitely ended much different than I had expected.

Thank you St Martins Press and Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. An absolute thrill ride! Jane is a playwright living in NYU. She’s also found the perfect guy, Colin. They dated but he broke up with her after six weeks. The thing is they are perfect together Colin just doesn’t realize it yet. She just has to help him see that they are meant to be, even though he’s dating someone new. Jane even connects with Zoe, Colin’s new girlfriend. But that won’t stop her from helping Colin to see who he really belongs with. Then she finds information in Colin’s apartment. Information that enmeshes the three of them in secrets and lies. Can she help Colin see she’s the one for him? A stalkery thriller with twists on twists! Fast paced and had me consuming it! Olivia Worley on intense story of love and just how far some people will go to find and keep it! The ending left me shook!

Jane is living as an aspiring playwright in NYC. She's also in love with Colin, a software engineer. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize how perfect they are for each other and ended their relationship after 6 dates. Jane has a plan to help Colin realize that they belong together. When phase 1 of her plan works, he's on a date with Zoe. Jane knows that Zoe isn't right for Colin, but Zoe seems to genuinely want to be her friend, giving her the benefit of more time around Colin.

This book was hard for me to rate. The beginning was probably a 2.5/3 star and then it reaches a point at about 70% where things pick up and I'd give it 4/4.5 stars (although I admit this may be inflated because I was so happy to finally get into it). Jane needs therapy. After 6 dates, she's determined that Colin is the love of her life. Their sixth date was the first time they were intimate so, if she'd had any girlfriends, I think they would have had her watching "He's Just Not That Into You" and having an intervention. She ignored so many red flags and made so many excuses for him that it was exhausting. There were so many times that I was basically asking what on earth was happening. Colin wasn't even interesting. Then, at about 70%, answers started coming and the plot moved along so I was interested to find out what happened. You also finally get some insight into Jane's past.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.75 stars, rounded up to 4)

So Happy Together was a wild, twisty thriller I really enjoyed from the very start. Jane is a twenty-four year old NYU Tisch graduate and aspiring playwright living in New York. And Jane is very, VERY into Colin, a guy she briefly dated who broke her heart. Despite this, Jane knows that she and Colin are perfect together - even if Colin doesn't know it yet. When Colin starts dating Zoe, Jane ingratiates herself into their lives, and sure Zoe is actually kind of nice, but Jane is committed to showing Colin exactly how perfect she is for him. When she sneaks in Colin's apartment, though, Jane makes a discovery that ensnares all three of them in a web of secrets and lies.

This novel is chaotic in the best way. Jane was such a great narrator. Her fixation on Colin is expertly articulated through her perspective. I found myself both freaked out by Jane and simultaneously rooting for her. Parsing through what's real and what's been warped through the lens of Jane's obsession made this novel a really intriguing and engaging read.

This story is full of plot twists and surprises that I didn't see coming (and a few I did) and once the plot really picked up I couldn't put this down. I shaved off 0.25 stars because the ending left me wanting a little more - it felt a little like it ended with a whimper instead of the bang this novel really deserved.

Other than that, though, So Happy Together is a fun and twisty read that I really enjoyed.

This was exactly the chaotic/stalker novel I was looking for after being disappointed recently by another book purported to be one. The characters were messy and imperfect in the best way and it was hard to put down. Though I did have my suspicions about half way through, I was only partially right and the story was still twisty enough to keep me engaged and looking forward to seeing how it all sorted out.

I've read all three of the author's books so far and am really enjoying seeing her grow with each book. I can't wait for the next!

I had enjoyed one of Olivia’s previous books and I saw comparisons to You, so I was interested in reading this. The concept of it is good, but none of the characters were that intriguing to me and the plot got a bit convoluted by the end.

Thanks as always to NetGalley for the ARC.

WHOO BABY I lvoed this one. I felt sooo awkward and second-hand embarassed at times. I love books that make me FEEL it.

Jane gets dumped after 6 dates but isn’t quite ready to let go yet so she keeps finding ways to be in Colin’s presence, even if it means befriending his new girlfriend.

Honestly I could not have predicted where this book was going to take me, but I’m not mad about it lol. All 3 of them are a little unhinged but I enjoyed the ride! Was this a 5 star quality? No but I think it’s worth the read lol

As always thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this early!!

4.5 ⭐️ rounded up

"So Happy Together" is an unputdownable, addictive thriller. Olivia Worley has cemented herself as one of the best YA thriller authors, in my opinion, and I was so excited to read her debut adult novel. The story is told from the point of view of Jane, a playwright in New York City, who has fallen in love with Colin, a software engineer. When Colin breaks things off with Jane, she knows she'll get him back...until she finds out that he is dating Zoe, an up-and-coming Brooklyn artist. What follows is a twisty and gripping story full of secrets, lies, and murder.

As soon as I started reading this book, I was hooked and couldn't put it down, finishing it in less than a day. Once again, the author took me on a wild and exciting ride. There's almost nothing I love more than a delulu main character, and Olivia gave me all that and more. The plot was fun and compelling, and the characters were just crazy enough to make you love them. I was enjoying the book so much that I was surprised when it ended. The ending felt a bit rushed—or maybe I was just sad it was over already.

So excited to have another thriller from one of my new favorite authors. Add this one to your must-read list this summer!

Dark and twisty with a side of dark and twisty with a side of dark and twisty!

There’s nothing I love more than crazy ass characters, and this book is nothing short of that. As a fan of You, Riley Sager, and Promising Young Woman, I was excited for this thriller and it definitely was a fun, quick read. While I am normally terrible at guessing plot twists, I did see this one coming but it didn’t make it any less enjoyable.

Great adult debut from Worley, she really did a great job at capturing the NYC and Gen Z vibes. I hope we get the chance to read more adult novels from her in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review!

Jane is obsessed with her former "boyfriend" which turns into being obsessed as well with his new girlfriend, someone who seems perfect in every way. I enjoyed the first part of the book the most, she was obsessed but it was also humorous. We think we are reading one story but it quickly becomes something else and is there anyone who is a reliable narrator and does it even matter. trigger warning animal abuse

The book started out good but I found myself confused and having trouble following a confusing storyline. I read the book in 3 days but already forgot the ending even though I finished it only an hour ago. Not a memorable book. This book just didn’t grab…and hold…my attention. Just not my cup of tea, sorry to say.

What a fun wild ride! The ending was not was I was expecting but I loved it despite what actually went down! Out FMC was hard to read only because she was completely delusional, but that I’m sure was the point.

Loved this book! Was hooked the very moment I started reading it, I put it in my favorites book pile. So many twists and turns, gave me so much anxiety! I felt like I was actually a character in the book yelling no don’t do that!! I definitely recommend this book to friends and family and will most definitely read more by this author!

Just Wow! I got to the last chapter of this book and still trusted nobody. Everybody was manipulative and separating their reality from their lies was nearly impossible. The ending was so perfect though. The way the women came together on a theatrical piece fit the narrative so well! I am so glad to have picked this one up. I received my ARC from NetGalley and all opinions are my own.

Enjoyed the premise and the writing but found the turn of events just sad… Maybe more humor or more unhingedness would have helped?

I loved how right up until the end I really didn't know where this story was going. The entire time, Jan seems to be the unhinged one, but then we learn more about Colin, her ex, and think maybe he is the bad guy. But he claims it's not true, and seems sincere. What is real and what isn't!? Who is actually unhinged and out for blood!? Who is telling the truth!? I read this in 24 hours because I couldn't put it down. Definitely recommend this one for your summer reading list!

Just okay.

Found it repetitive and didn't really connect with any of the characters or their intent.
Truly interesting premise, but execution left me wanting.

This book is unhinged in the best way. The story follows 24-year-old Jane and her obsession with Colin, who she feels is her soulmate even though he broke things off with her after only 6 dates. She works her way back into his life by befriending his current girlfriend, Zoe. But things aren’t always as they seem.

This book is dark and twisty and kept me guessing, reminiscent of “You”- this is a good one if you enjoy that vibe. I liked that none of the characters are really likable. I didn’t love the ending, but it works with the story. Overall, a highly entertaining thriller that kept my attention from the start.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book!

So Happy Together by Olivia Worley is both a thrilling and captivating mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story follows Jane, a 24-year-old playwright who is determined to win back Colin, software engineer who breaks things off after only six dates. Despite his lack of interest, Jane believes they are meant to be together and sets out to rekindle their relationship.

As the narrative unfolds, Jane finds her way back into Colin's life through his new girlfriend, Zoe. Zoe befriends Jane, opening the door for her to escalate her efforts to win Colin back. However, it soon becomes clear that Colin may not be the ideal partner Jane thought he was, and the twists and turns begin.

The plot is full of unexpected developments that kept me guessing until the very end. Although Jane's actions may be hard to empathize with, the story is compelling and engaging. The ending was particularly satisfying and surprising.

Thank you NetGalley and Minotaur Books for the advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.
