Book: The Secret to Happiness

About the book:
Escape to Cape Cod--where you just might find the secret to happiness

Callie Dixon had the world by its tail . . . until it all slipped away. Fired from her dream job after making a colossal mistake, she's escaped to her aunt's home on Cape Cod for time to bounce back. Except it isn't a home, it's an ice cream shop. And time isn't going to help, because Callie's bounce has up and left. There's a reason she made that mistake at work and she's struggling to come to terms with it.

Things go from bad to worse when Callie's cousin Dawn drags her to a community class about the secret to happiness. Happiness is the last thing Callie wants to think about right now, but instructor Bruno Bianco--a curiously gloomy fellow--is relentless. He has a way of turning Callie's thoughts upside down. Her feelings, too.

Could Bruno be right when he says that hitting rock bottom is the very best place to be? If so, how is that supposed to help her find exactly what--or who--has been missing all along?

My thoughts:

I had read and enjoyed book 1 in the Cape Cod Creamery series so looked forward to book 2. I have enjoyed this book as well.  

Callie has a lot going on in her life.  I feel like those who have battled depression will be able to connect with her through the pages of her story.  After hearing a little about the relationship between Callie and her cousin Dawn in the first book, it was interesting to see their interactions as adults and how things have changed for them.

Topics in this book include depression, MS, job loss, and relationships in general.

Also I must add...don't you just love the cover?!  I do!  This book made me want to visit Cape Cod too just like the first one did!

I received a copy of this book from the Revell Reads reviewer program for my honest review.  Thank you.


Have a day of blessings!
