About this deal

I love Katherine Center. I love her stories. I love the characters she develops and hate leaving them behind. I love her dialogue that makes me laugh out loud. I love how I feel when I finish her books. If she wrote a phone book, I would pay full price and read it cover to cover.” One of the best reads of this decade for me, featuring an unforgettable, gutsy heroine and an equally endearing, swoon-worthy hero. What more could you ask for? You have to read this book! I’m adding this to every Katherine Center book that I have reviewed, because I truly mean this: I have always been able to understand and relate to everything Katherine Center writes. Her writing is so “open.” There are some authors or novels that I will struggle to connect with because the authors hide behind their words and I can’t feel or see them. When I connect with an author’s words on this level, it is as if I am having a deep, meaningful and wonderfully long chat with the author . . .” This book was amazing! I read it in 2 days and it was so hard to put down! Truly inspiring fiction on how to look at life in a different way.” Houston Matters producer Michael Hagerty asks Center why and about why we often look to the outdoors to help us find ourselves.

This book is sweet and fun and surprisingly deep. That pretty much sums up why I’m a fan of Katherine Center.” I love E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G about Happiness for Beginners! I love the growth of the characters, the theme of the book and the wilderness trip. In my opinion, there was not a single scene that didn’t have a reason to be there. Go feast on this tender, bittersweet, romantic story—narrated in turns by Duncan, Jake, and Helen*—about the night that changed all of their lives forever. This is my favourite book I’ve ever read. I laughed out loud, I cried, and I related to Helen so much!” AMYThis book will envelop you like a warm, cozy embrace . . . At its heart, it’s a tale of growth and self-acceptance, presented in a refreshingly raw and relatable way.” KAYLA The amount of tears and full body shivers I got in this book makes me feel like I was the one who had a life changing course.” — L. — Adding HAPPINESS FOR BEGINNERS to my all-time favorites list. Fun, moving, and honest, it’s a gem of a novel about finding out just what you’re made of.”

Personal growth, happiness, healing, humor, and love, with a wilderness adventure thrown in; this book was all that and more. I highly recommend this brilliant novel to women’s fiction fans. Now I’m off to read all of Katherine Center’s other books!” This is my third Katherine Center book and she is my new favorite author. Reading her books is effortless because you are carried away with her story and the characters. You cheer for some, wonder about others and really dislike others. Her writing is simple and deep at the same time. Not overly flowery or obvious in its descriptions. I read most of this book in a single day’s car ride. You won’t be disappointed.” The things we remember are what we hold on to, and what we hold on to becomes the story of our lives.’ I’m addicted to this author’s books! This was a beautiful book!”Okay. I loved this book! Something I love about Center’s books is that you know she’s put the work in; I thought it with ‘Things You Save in a Fire’ (unsurprised to learn that her husband is a volunteer firefighter), and it comes through here too. She does actually walk us in Helen’s heavy, blister-busting boots as she experiences a wilderness adventure and the practicalities and hurdles thereof. She doesn’t go overly mushy with the self-discovery and being one with nature stuff; instead she predicates Helen’s slow transformation on her ability to recognise her own limitations and patterns, and being willing to connect with people and trust in herself. I loved it! . . . But let’s not pretend I don’t drool over Katherine Center’s beautiful books for anything as much as the romances. And the one in ‘Happiness’ is a doozy! Jake is the young, fresh as a penny popular college guy—Helen is his best friend’s older sister, and she feels every one of the years she’s got on Jake. But they have such spark, and the unrequited, slow-burn of it all is intoxicating! I think I also loved this romance because it did remind me of the one in my favourite Center book thus far, ‘Things You Save in a Fire’—which also had a kind of “himbo” love interest (except Center’s male characters are not unintelligent; they’re actually more emotionally intelligent and very much have Labrador-qualities of good guys loving on jaded and hurt women, giving them patience, space, and understanding that makes everything so much more delicious!)” I love reading and when I find a treasure like this I want to let the author know of my “approval/happiness” by buying a copy. Or in this case, buying a few copies and sharing them with young adults. It’s a very realistic novel with hope.”
