His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the &ldquo;Transition.&rdquo; Now, eating human meat&mdash;&ldquo;special meat&rdquo;&mdash;is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing. Then one day he&rsquo;s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he&rsquo;s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost&mdash;and what might still be saved.</div>

Join us for an in-depth discussion of Emily Henry's newest book Happy Place. Let's discuss the moments that made us cry, laugh, or throw the book across the room. See you at 6pm on June 14th.&nbsp;A couple who broke up months ago pretend to still be together for their annual weeklong vacation with their best friends in this glittering and wise new novel from #1&nbsp;<span class="a-text-bold a-text-italic" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:#0f1111;font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:700 !important;font-style:italic !important;">New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author Emily Henry. &nbsp; Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college&mdash;they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now&mdash;for reasons they&rsquo;re still not discussing&mdash;they don&rsquo;t. &nbsp; They broke up five months ago. And still haven&rsquo;t told their best friends. &nbsp; Which is how they find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group&rsquo;s yearly getaway for the last decade. Their annual respite from the world, where for one vibrant, blissful week they leave behind their daily lives; have copious amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal air with the people who understand them most. &nbsp; Only this year, Harriet and Wyn are lying through their teeth while trying not to notice how desperately they still want each other. Because the cottage is for sale and this is the last week they&rsquo;ll all have together in this place. They can&rsquo;t stand to break their friends&rsquo; hearts, and so they&rsquo;ll play their parts. Harriet will be the driven surgical resident who never starts a fight, and Wyn will be the laid-back charmer who never lets the cracks show. It&rsquo;s a flawless plan (if you look at it from a great distance and through a pair of sunscreen-smeared sunglasses). After years of being in love, how hard can it be to fake it for one week&hellip;in front of those who know you best?
