Summary
It's the smallest things that make the biggest difference.
Annie has been sad for so long that she's forgotten how to be any other way. She's trudging miserably through every day, sheer determination keeping her going. Until she meets Polly. Polly is everything that Annie is not. She's colourful, joyful, happy. Because if recent events have taught Polly anything, it's that your time is too short to waste a single day.
Polly has 100 days to help Annie find happiness. Annie's convinced it's impossible, but so is saying no to Polly. And on an unforgettable journey, Annie begins to realise that maybe, just maybe, there's still colour to be found in the world. But then it becomes clear that Polly's about to need her new friend more than ever...and Annie will have to decide once and for all whether letting others in is a risk worth taking.
If you liked Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine or The Keeper of Lost Things, you'll love How to Be Happy.

"I read this recently and loved it SO much. I cried buckets, but it's ultimately a really positive, uplifting book about making every day count." (best-selling author Clare Mackintosh)

Uplifting and beautiful
In uncertain times that we are currently living in it has been an absolute joy to listen to such a beautifully written heartwarming story that is fantastically narrated and draws you in from the first chapter. Highly recommended for anyone who needs some extra sunshine in their life.
