Happy Endings has lots of positives like it passes the Bechtel test. Trixie has great friends that boost each other up In their personal lives as well their career pursuits. Thien-Kim Lam also doesn’t follow the ridged formula I’ve been reading lately in the romance genre, the story has a nice flow. The love interest was a little frustrating for me. Andre and Trixie were living together in New Orleans, where Trixie is from and where Andre relocated. The couple we’re together for two years when one day Trixie came home to a break up post it note (he had his reasons.)Now two years later they coincidentally meet in DC, where they are both living.Trixie sells sex toys, opening the door for very honest sex discussions. Andre is managing his late mother’s failing restaurant. He doesn’t ask for help because he’s hard headed and keeps to many secrets. it made for many frustrating situations, putting that aside this was a cute love story, with awesome foodie descriptions.
