Funny and a good break between my murder mysteries. I believe everyone could find a chapter or two that relates to heir own ideas of a happy life.

Such a cute read of practical life advice and good stories mixed together! Took me way longer to read it than it should have, but I enjoyed it all :)

A great collection of essays that showcase common problems and how life is too short to fixate on them.

Got a little tired of the bible thumping and actually disagree with some of her advice. Some sections were good/funny.

It wasn't what I expected, but I enjoyed it - fun and easy to read. I would have know what to expect, if I had read the back cover before reading!
