“She means he's looking for something the New York Times has described as 'revelatory," Sabrina says.
"Actually... " Parth walks up with a paper bag already in hand.
“I picked this because the Wall Street Journal gave it such a cranky review I needed to read it myself. It's by this married couple who usually publish separately. One of them writes literary doorstop novels and the other writes romance.”
Emily Henry, Happy Place

Emily Henry
“And I’m happy, because I never want to lose this. I would rather have one tiny sliver of him forever than have all of him for just a
moment and know I’d have to relinquish all of it when we were through. I could never
lose Alex.”
Emily Henry, People We Meet on Vacation
