Items related to Secrets To Happiness
Holly Frick just went through the worst kind of divorce: the one where you're still in love with the person divorcing you. Facing up to life on her own, she needs a distraction to keep her mind off her own non-existent love life.
Like Jane Austen's Emma Woodhouse, Holly is intimately involved in the lives of those closest to her, and now she feels compelled to give advice with unwavering moral certainty. And, like Emma, she is often completely off the mark. Soon she's in over her head, advising her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend while at the same time falling for her married friend's new lover. Until, happiness arrives from a very unexpected source . . .
With a contemporary twist on Woody Allen's Manhattan, Secrets to Happiness is a hilarious look at the things people will do to be happy.

Product Description:
The first novel for Sphere from this fabulous new author. Sarah Dunn is the author of THE BIG LOVE, which was published by Penguin in the UK.
Review:
A funny and insightful novel . . . if Dunn is still best described as Bushnell crossed with another author, then this time around it's most definitely Jane Austen' DAILY MAIL ('A smart, heartwarmingly funny story about modern love in the city. Secrets to Happiness is brimming with Sarah Dunn's vivid characters and engaging voice and will linger long after you've finished the last page. I love this book' Emily Giffin, author of)
Sarah Dunn achieves what so many authors set out to do but so few manage: she captures the Zeitgeist. If you can imagine a cross between Candace Bushnell and Edith Wharton, that is Sarah Dunn' Toby Young, author of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People ('I love this book. I loved Sarah Dunn's last book. I can't wait for her next book. She is very funny, that's the first thing to say. But she is also deep, interesting and subtle. Her characters could be my friends and yet they utterly surprise me. She is)
Sarah Dunn's Secrets to Happiness zips along hilariously, fuelled by pitch-perfect dialogue. Secrets to Happiness is an antic urban comedy, with enough neurotic characters to fill the cast of a Woody Allen movie. It's great fun' Boston Globe ('[Secrets to Happiness is] stocked with the staples of a great chick lit soufflé - strong characters, oddball situations, razor-sharp writing. But [Sarah Dunn] mixes in extra ingredients like faith and spirituality that turn her books into a literary feas)
A clever twist on modern relationships, this is a humorous outlook on the lengths people will go to find happiness (IRISH TATLER)
