Unrealistic Happiness

3.5 stars overall. I enjoyed the premise of the book however, it seemed to be one cliche after another. Yes, there were atrocious events that happened in the story but that was overshadowed by everything always falling into place. Don’t get me wrong, I want those to have a happy and fulfilled life however it just didn’t seem plausible over and over again.
