The Happiness Plan by Susan Mallery
5.0
I enjoy books with multiple interrelated storylines and Susan Mallery does this well in The Happiness Plan. The characters and backstories are all well-developed and the flow of the book keeps the reader highly entertained.
Heather is successful in business despite her upbringing. She was raised by a single mother who was full of self-pity and a lack of motivation. The impact of this unfortunate relationship has affected Heather in her personal life. When she meets her father and his family, things begin to change for Heather.
Daphne has recently made partner in her law firm but the 70-80 hour workweeks remain. She desperately wants to have a baby but her husband, already a father from a previous marriage, says the timing is not right. Her friendship with a male colleague is innocent, but when her husband sees this differently their relationship becomes stressed and may not be able to recover.
Tori and Daphne’s brother-in-law have always been the two singles in their group of friends. When their apartments both flood and they need to relocate, they agree to share a house while their renovations are being done. Will their friendship survive living together?
I enjoyed the book and the message about what constitutes a family. The women all grow personally and in their relationships during the course of the book and although it was somewhat predictable, I appreciated witnessing the joy that came to each of them. This is another great book from Susan Mallery.
I recommend this book to those readers who appreciate Women’s Fiction.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.
4.5 stars/5 (rounded up to 5).
