svmreads 's review for:
Happy All the Time
by Laurie Colwin
funny
hopeful
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Heartwarming, charming, and HILARIOUS. All of the characters were so relatable and I loved seeing the journeys Guido and Holly and Vincent and Misty took. I do wish we saw a little more of Holly and Misty together because the one scene at the end with them was great!
My one gripe with this book is that there was some racist language that took me out of the story, especially when describing Holly, who is presumably a white woman. Her hair was described as "oriental" several times and repeated that she "smelled like jasmine". At one point her mannerisms were described as being "like Genghis Khan" and her baby at the end was described as "a little Buddha". These descriptors were wildly unnecessary and prevented me from giving this book a higher rating.
