Thriller Psychological

SO HAPPY TOGETHER by Olivia Worley follows an obsessed twenty-four-year-old New York playwright who believes she has found and then lost the man of her dreams to another woman. Jane Williams will do anything to get Colin Hillgrove back, even befriending his new girlfriend and sparking jealousy by sleeping with his roommate. But, when Colin doesn’t take the bait, Jane intensifies her efforts and finds herself in a perilous game of murder and deceit.
 
As Jane ingratiates herself into Colin’s new girlfriend’s life, she starts to uncover things about Colin that make her blood run cold. Things like ominous Instagram messages, disturbing photos, a hidden bloody knife, and bursts of anger. Jane’s not above cyberstalking, stealing keys, or hiding in closets to get the information she wants about Colin. She even convinces herself that she can accept his dark side. But, when Colin’s roommate is found murdered and Colin is the prime suspect, Jane must decide whether she helps him cover up the crime or turn him in. Playing both sides of the coin, Jane waffles between exposing Colin or accepting the possibility of a dark and twisted future with him. Will she make the right choice?
 
SO HAPPY TOGETHER is a propulsive, messy, crazy ride full of chaos, deception, and characters who all need to seek out a therapist. Jane is obsessive and cunning, Colin is vague and deceitful, and his new girlfriend, Zoe is a master of disguises and personas. None of the narrators are reliable and you really never know what is true and whether or not you’re rooting for the right person. The suspenseful plot grabs you early and never lets go, pulling you deeper into Jane’s spiraling world. Her complicated and traumatic past is revealed gradually, offering insight into her increasingly unstable behavior. Packed with tension, manipulative twists, and fatally flawed characters, SO HAPPY TOGETHER is a gripping, entertaining dive into toxic relationships built on lies and self-deception.

SUMMARY

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. So when Jane meets Colin, she can’t believe her luck: they’re perfect for each other. Even when Colin breaks off their relationship after six dates, Jane knows this is just a stumbling block. She’ll get him back. She knows she will.

That is, until Colin starts dating Zoe—perfect, luminous Zoe. Even worse, she’s actually kind of nice. But Zoe doesn’t have what it takes to love Colin. 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 web of lies, secrets, and murder.

Unrelentingly twisty and utterly compelling, So Happy Together is an unputdownable, shattering read—a riveting blend of You, Riley Sager, and Promising Young Woman.

Some hearts get broken, some get even.
