Synopsis

Told with warmth and wit, I Wish You Happy explores the sometimes-dark complexity of relationships, the transformative power of friendship—and the magic of hope.Rescuing abandoned animals is easier for Rae than attempting relationships with people. According to her therapist, she lacks a dimmer switch—her energy is either full-intensity on or off. Lately, she’s been opting for off.But the switch flips back on when Rae’s car collides with a cyclist, leaving the rider fighting for her life. After discovering the crash was a suicide attempt, Rae invites the victim—emotionally and physically fragile Kat—into her home. Soon, Rae finds herself opening up, not just to friendship but also to the possibility of love with Cole, the crisis worker assigned to Kat’s case.However, Kat’s pain threatens to overshadow Rae as their codependent friendship deepens. When disaster strikes again, Rae is desperate to help Kat heal, but the plan backfires, putting at risk Rae’s tenuous connections and forcing her to confront the most difficult challenge of all— embracing her own happiness.

Depicting the depth of human frailty yet framing it within a picture of hope, I Wish You Happy pulls you in as you root for the flawed, yet intoxicating characters to reach a satisfying conclusion of healing.

Goodreads review by Patricia on June 04, 2017

A rollercoaster ride from beginning to end! I couldn't put this book down as I held on for dear life with my escalating emotions. King writes articulate, exciting, sensitive prose that is an absolute pleasure to read. I felt fortunate to read an ARC with no pressure for a review. By the time I was p......more

Goodreads review by Malou on July 10, 2017

So good! Such a lighthearted, warm and funny story about mental health and how none of us are really "normal". Every character came with their own little bit of mad. It could have been sad, or a bit gruesome even but somehow managed to be the opposite. Our main person, Rea, really grew throughout th......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on July 02, 2017

It’s the horrible accident that forms the backbone of the plot at the beginning of I WISH YOU HAPPY that will take your breath and have you turning the pages. The hook has a vivid, ripped from the headlines vibe, one that will have you wondering what you would do, how you would respond in a similar......more
