The Secret to Happiness

By Suzanne Woods Fisher

Book Overview

Escape to Cape Cod--where you just might find the secret to happiness

Callie Dixon had the world by the tail . . . until it all slipped away. Fired from her dream job after making a colossal mistake, she's escaped to her aunt's home on Cape Cod for time to bounce back. Except it isn't a home, it's an ice cream shop. And time isn't going to help, because Callie's bounce has up and left. There's a reason she made that mistake at work, and she's struggling to come to terms with it.

Things go from bad to worse when Callie's cousin Dawn drags her to a community class about the secret to happiness. Happiness is the last thing Callie wants to think about right now, but instructor Bruno Bianco--a curiously gloomy fellow--is relentless. He has a way of turning Callie's thoughts upside down. Her feelings, too.

Bruno insists that hitting rock bottom is the very best place to be. But if that's true, how is it supposed to help her figure out what--or who--has been missing from her life all along?

Boring

Dreary.......story line......and....the character named Leo, a six year old boy that comes into the ice cream shop on nearly a daily basis.....without supervision.....and not one of the main characters.....thinks to find out why this child is unaccompanied(especially Marnie, the owner of the shop, a mother herself!?)....whether fiction or not.......in today's day and age it is plain negligent and dangerous on the parent's part to allow his/her child to roam the streets of this small town.....small town, mid town, city.....doesn't matter....its child endangerment. Seriously.....the main characters did not think to contact the child's school to find out who the parent is?! They didn't think to ask one of the residents of the town?! And....feeding him food(ice cream or anything for that matter!) not knowing if this child had allergies of any sort?! Ridiculous!

Ok book

I am a huge fan of Suzanne Woods Fisher but this book fell flat with me. I wasn’t a big fan of the main characters and parts of the book were slow
