Five Steps to Happy: An uplifting novel based on a true story by Ella Dove

4.0

This was honestly such a beautiful, uplifting read. Five Steps to Happy follows 32-year-old struggling actress Heidi, who has an unfortunate life-changing accident. Waking up in the hospital as an amputee, Heidi's only company is Maud - the elderly lady in the bed next to her. Of course, Maud has an attractive grandson called Jack, who befriends Heidi and tries to remind her that although it may not be the life she imagined, it can still be a good one. I laughed, I cried and felt incredibly uplifted. This is definitely one of my favourite books I've read in a while.
