Resumen del Editor

As seen on Netflix—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bodyguard and Hello Stranger

Helen Carpenter can’t quite seem to bounce back. Newly divorced at thirty-two, her life has fallen apart beyond her ability to put it together again. So when her annoying younger brother, Duncan, convinces her to sign up for a hardcore wilderness survival course in the backwoods of Wyoming—she hopes it’ll be exactly what she needs.

Instead, it’s a disaster. It’s nothing like she wants, or expects, or anticipates. She doesn’t anticipate the surprise summer blizzard, for example—or the blisters, or the rutting elk, or the mean pack of sorority girls. And she especially doesn’t anticipate that her annoying brother’s even-more-annoying best friend, Jake, will show up for the exact same course—and distract her, derail her, and . . . kiss her.

But it turns out sometimes disaster can teach you exactly the things you need to learn. Like how to keep going, even when you think you can’t. How being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes getting really, really lost is your only hope of getting found.

Happiness for Beginners is Katherine Center at her most heart-warming, captivating best—a nourishing, thrilling, up-all-night listen about how to get back up. It’s a story that looks at how our struggles lead us to our strengths. How love is always worth it. And how the more good things we look for, the more we find.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Center has written a wonderful story, a fast-paced read with sharp, perfectly written dialogue. Her newest does exactly what we want a good novel to do, introduce us to characters who engage us and take us on a journey.”—Booklist

“If you're anything like us, you'll read this book in one sitting.”—InStyle

“Katherine Center has a true gift for creating a story arc that includes personal evolution, romance, challenges, disappointments, and joy in a way that avoids cliché and creates enough ebbing tension and resolution that the reader is left hungering for more.”—Boston Mamas

Really sweet story

If you need some good vibes, this is the story for you. You should check out the movie version on Netflix too.

Loved This

I came to this book after seeing the Netflix movie. I love it in a different way than the movie but it has me ready to read her other works.

Much better than the movie.

Watched the movie version randomly on Netflix one night. Liked it but thought man I feel like so much is missing from the story. Saw that the film was based on the book and immediately begin listening to the audio book. No spoilers but the book gives you so much more insight into Helen and all her relationships. Enjoyed the book so much more per usual.

Funny, sweet, and way better than the movie

I listened to this book before watching the Netflix movie and I’m so glad I did. The book was, way better. The writing and narration were excellent and I loved the character development, the characters were complex and colorful. And I laughed out loud so many times. Can’t wait to read more from this author!

Definitely worth reading if you liked the movie

I first saw the movie based on this book on Netflix. I enjoyed it, but the book gives a little more background and motivation to the characters which I liked. I enjoyed the narration as well. Expect I will listen to this more than once!

AWFUL NARRATION

Luckily I have the book so I was able to read it and loved the story line. I couldn't even finish the audio book cause it was so bad. Buy the book!!
