Happy All the Time

A jewel of romantic comedy (New York Times) from the late great author, adored by Nigella Lawson, Dolly Alderton, Katherine Heiny and Caroline ODonoghue.\r\n\r\nIt was just as she suspected: love turned you into perfect mush.\r\n\r\nGUIDO is not in the habit of falling in love with women he sees in museums. Until he meets HOLLY. Precise about everything, she knows what she likes: pressed sheets, oranges (but nothing orange-flavoured), tea on a tray - and now, Guido.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile VINCENT, Guidos eternally cheerful best friend and cousin, falls for his misanthropic new colleague, MISTY. She seems as uninterested in love as she is in Vincent (at first).\r\n\r\nThrough courtship, arguments, wedding plans and other perils, the couples find a way to be happy (almost) all the time.\r\n\r\nSeriously wise, seriously wonderful, seriously comic - your life will be richer for it Katherine Heiny\r\n\r\n Uplifting, funny, generous. One of the most comforting, clever novels I know Samantha Ellis\r\n\r\nHuman and humorous, full of wisdom and love Emma Straub
