The story can also be distinctive, because it follows Harriet and Wyn, two individuals who dated for a very long time, broke up, after which ended up on a good friend journey collectively (nevertheless, their associates don’t know they’ve damaged up).
Clearly, I’ve been inquisitive about who might play the romantic leads right here, and by chance, the creator has somebody in thoughts for the feminine principal character, as she informed Individuals:
For Harriet in Completely happy Place, I feel Eve Hewson can be fantastic. And normally, when I’m considering of casting, I am not truly considering of somebody who seems like that individual.

In the mean time, you should purchase all of Emily Henry’s books, together with her latest one, Nice Massive Lovely Life, wherever you purchase your books.
In the meantime, each Completely happy Place and Individuals We Meet On Trip will finally be obtainable to stream with a Netflix subscription.
Properly, Harriet is a 30-year-old girl with hair that falls in “chaotic darkish curls,” and Hewson is a brunette 33-year-old girl, so she suits that invoice completely. On prime of that, I feel the actress has the ability to tug off this emotionally complicated character.
