Happy Like This | Ashley Wurzbacher
⭐⭐⭐ / 5
.
Happy Like This is a collection of short stories about women. Smart women, professional women, wives, daughters and mother's. And they have one thing in common. They're all searching for happiness.

On paper, this book should have been right up my street. I LOVE strong independent women. And above all, I love women being happy. But I enjoy depth of characters which you just don't get with short stories. Just as I get into the flow of a story, it's over. Some of the stories I enjoyed more than others. I really loved some of the earlier ones, but by the time I got to the later ones, I was fed up of the lack of depth to stories.
.
It's just a personal preference when it comes to short stories really, but this wasn't for me. Having said that, I've gone down the middle on my stars as some of the stories were very good.

I received this advanced read copy from @NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
