Book Review of Happiness Sold Separately

Happiness Sold Separately
reviewed Funny, Uplifting Chick Lit on
Helpful Score: 2


Great chick lit book about being stuck in a rut, reevaluating your life, and making changes. The character tugs at your heartstrings and connects. Very funny, uplifting, and one of the better chick lit books I've read in a long time. I read it in a day. I even checked to see if Libby Street had other books out yet, but sadly, I'll have to wait.

What makes the book more interesting, in retrospect, is that it was written by two girls who'd been friends since they were 4 years old. One is married, one's still single, and the seeds of the story were planted in their emails to each other. Don't miss the short but interesting interview at the end of the book that gives insight into their friendship and pen name.
