Happy All the Time: A Novel (Vintage Contemporaries) [Colwin, Laurie] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Happy All the Time: A Novel (Vintage Contemporaries)

Review: A light, pleasant read - Here we have the tale of Guido and Vincent cousins and best friends. We follow them as they finish their college years and take up their careers. One thing that these young men have in common is that they are both attracted to women who they find very inscrutable. However, the heart being the heart, each young man marries the woman of his desire. Although there are some bumps along the way for the most part life runs smoothly for these couples. I enjoy the late Colwin's writing style. She is able to give us a great sense of place. I enjoyed the description of Holly and Guido's apartment. I think that if you are looking for a well crafted novel that is more character than plot driven, this may be the book for you. If you have been reading a lot of dystopian books or nonfiction, this might be a good palate cleanser. It is a short book and a fun read.
Review: Fun, quick read - The characters in the book are very interesting and the story is engaging. After reading the book, the title is a bit of mystery. The book provided great discussion at our book club.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable, but...
*by J***E on July 3, 2019*

I enjoyed this novel, but it took me a while to read it. I’d often pick up something else instead. I wasn’t engrossed with the story, although the characters were interesting, I didn’t feel engaged with any of them. I did love the ending however!
