The Happiness Project: An emotional, heartwarming page turner | Pippa James
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Prepare to be captivated by one of the most poignant and heart-warming books you will read this year, perfect for readers who loved One Day in December. Alison’s perfect world has fallen apart. Her beloved larger than life mother-in-law, Maggie, has just passed away. Every afternoon they’d talk and laugh over a pot of tea - and Maggie was secretly the glue that held Alison’s family together. Now she’s trying to figure out a future without her… With a little help from her two best friends, Alison resolves to try and find her happy place and be more Maggie. Vowing to step outside of their comfort zones and make the most of every day, the three women each have their own challenges to overcome in the year ahead - a baby on the way, a romance to save and a much-needed confidence boost. But as Alison finds herself drinking more wine than she ever has in her life and signing up for an extreme sports charity event, she starts to wonder if this is really the change she needed in her life? Or will she re-discover her happiness closer to home?

Had I been a 30 something with children, I probably would‘ve loved this. As it was, I couldn‘t relate to any of the characters, missed any humour, and was mostly relieved to finish (which I did only because it was an arc from NetGalley).

This is not all airy and light, the friends do have arguments and issues are serious but it‘s also got its light times with some laugh out loud moments to break the tension. Pippa James has written a completely relatable, funny, heartwarming novel about being a mother, a friend and ultimately happiness…..wonderful.
