9.1.2017 - Something Like Happy

Something Like Happy by Eva Woods

Big thanks to NetGalley, Graydon House and Eva Woods for the opportunity to read and review this book - wonderful!

This is one of those books that will plug into every emotion that you have. It may leave you a bit breathless at the end but it will definitely remind you of how grateful we need to be in the present.

Annie is sad. She hates her job, her London flat, her husband left her for her best friend, her mother has dementia - so she has reason to be sad, right? Along comes Polly - a young woman Annie meets while visiting her mom at the hospital. Polly has cancer and only 3 months to live. She drags Annie along on a mission - 100 days of happy.

This all may sound cliché but it's a wonderful ride along with Annie and Polly and their group of friends and family. In the world of nothing but bad news, this book truly gives you pause and makes you think about how you use each of the moments we are blessed with.
