This is by far one of the best books I have read this year. There’s nothing about it that I didn’t like: amazing character development, plot, story . . . everything. It pulls you in. During the whole book you are right there with Helen, feeling everything she is feeling, crying with her, loving with her.” MONICA One of the best reads of this decade for me, featuring an unforgettable, gutsy heroine and an equally endearing, swoon-worthy hero. What more could you ask for? You have to read this book!

Like all of Katherine Center’s books, Happiness for Beginners has a heart of gold. Wise, charming and laugh-out-loud funny, readers will love this book.” Oh, it also has an epilogue. Some of you know I love epilogues! The other 0.4 star was lost as this epilogue takes place about 10 minutes after the last chapter ended. That’s cheating in my book as that’s not an epilogue, that’s just another chapter. I wanted an epilogue that takes place at least a year and preferably much farther down the line. Oh well, Ms. Center gives us the faintest glimpse of the future in this pseudo epilogue, but I still feel gypped.It’s been a long time since I stayed up too late because I couldn’t put a book down. It’s also been a long time since a book made me laugh and cry at once. If you want to feel hopeful, this is the book for you.” BRITTANY Loved it! Love her. Love how the art of happiness is intertwined into this novel. Great reminder of what true happiness is.” What a lovely little moment of joy. An easy and reflective read, with a nice splattering of life lessons, that will leave you with a slightly brighter perspective on your own life – whatever the circumstances.” T.L.G. Katherine Center has a gift for story-telling and capturing the messiness and frustration of life in a totally engaging and relatable way. When Helen changed her mental model of her family relationships (especially with her baby brother) and the long-held story of her life, I was completely immersed and felt the same revelation.”

Sooooo freaking good!!! The story! The twists! The unexpected tears and love. Ugh!!!! Read! Go read!” HANNAH This is a “sort of” prequel to Katherine Center’s “soon to be released” book-“What You Wish For” as you will meet Duncan Carpenter, who has a starring role in that book, and his sister Helen Carpenter, who has the starring role in this one! KC: “There’s a lot of me in Helen, and this is one of those things! One thing she needs to learn to do in this book is to savor the good things around her—even if she can’t fix or eliminate the bad. That’s a lesson I’ve been working on my whole life. “ This is a wonderfully crafted story that by the end may just help you view your own life in a better light.John Stamos Snapped At Elizabeth Taylor While Filming 'General Hospital': "Get That Old Lady Out Of My Eye Line!"

Happiness for Beginners: A Novel: Center, Katherine

Matthew Perry Almost Turned Down 'Friends' For A Show "About Baggage Handlers At The LA Airport In The Year 2194"I'm officially obsessed with Katherine Center, and I'm in the process of slowly reading all her books. (She's prolific though, so I'm having trouble keeping up!😅) This is my second of her books, and I love it as much as I love the first book I read by her, which had wonderful mental health (or more specifically, TBI, traumatic brain injury) rep, HELLO STRANGER.

Happiness For Beginners: Now a Netflix romantic comedy!

WoW. Such a heartfelt easy and enjoyable read!! I’m a fan!! I thoroughly enjoyed every word of this book. I found it to be wise and super witty at the same time. I am so looking forward to diving into Katherine Center’s other books. I am hooked! Thank you for this much needed happiness!” I t is a glorious read, a needed reminder to find the happy moments when things feel a bit too boggy and to be brave in the times where you’d rather cut and run. Cheers to HoldUp and JDog, and to all who choose to wander into the woods to lose themselves only to then find themselves again.” JENNIFER Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Louis Tomlinson: All Of Those Voices’ On Paramount+, Where The Ex-One Direction Singer Finds Himself As He Flies Solo A topsy turvy ride filled with woe and sparkle that never lets up with the darndest levels of hope.” A fun, entertaining read that has a lot to say about our preconceived notions of others. And of ourselves.”

This is my third Katherine Center book and she is my new favorite author. Reading her books is effortless because you are carried away with her story and the characters. You cheer for some, wonder about others and really dislike others. Her writing is simple and deep at the same time. Not overly flowery or obvious in its descriptions. I read most of this book in a single day’s car ride. You won’t be disappointed.”
