Holly is recently divorced from a man she was deeply in love with. She spends her days as a writer for a teen Nickelodeon show since her first published novel smashed, even if she did portray her ex-lover Spencer in it.
She adopts a dog named Chester who has a brain tumor and is optimistic for them both. She even takes a lover, a young twenty-two year old, who soothes her needs, but yet makes her feel like she is cradle robbing.
She swears she won't get married again, and is off men to her best friend Amanda, even as she does spend alot of her nights with her new boy toy. But when Amanda confides in Holly about a man she has been seeing on the side, Holly becomes snide. Amanda is married and have a beautiful little boy; why would she want to ruin it?
Secrets to Happiness is filled with many eccentric characters against the backdrop of New York City. A compilation of stories and their journeys that frankly had my head spinning until about half-way through the novel. From page one I was captivated with their lives, and what their secrets were to happiness. A fresh and engaging read!
