Emily Henry is the author of "Happy Place"

Emily Henry is one of the queens of the romance genre, and she’s back at it again with Happy Place.

The book is a second-chance romance, following the couple Harriet and Wyn, five months after their breakup. At a summer reunion with their college best friends, the pair find themselves pretending that they never broke up in order to have their last hurrah in their favorite place - a house on the coast of Maine.

I recently spoke with Emily Henry about her vivid settings, snappy dialogue and her appreciation of the writing community. I’m Beth Golay. From KMUW Studios, part of the NPR Podcast Network, this is Marginalia.
