Definitely Better Now is definitely a good read, but not necessarily a happy read. Its a book that will hit you in the feels. The theme of addiction is a bit heavy and emotional, yet I felt that Robinson balanced it well with humor. I liked Emma and related to her lack of social anxiety. There's a sweet romance subplot, but DBN mainly focuses on the MC as she navigates sobriety. Though DBN technically takes place around Christmas, I wouldn't consider it a holiday book. It works pretty much any time of year. Just maybe avoid it it if you're feeling messy or depressy.
