A Happier Life by Kristy Woodson Harvey
4.75
emotional inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

As always, a feel good story with a bit of mystery for a perfect summer day of reading. (Yes I read this in a day!)

I love the two timelines. One is Keaton who is tasked by her mom and Uncle to go to get their childhood home ready to sell. They haven't been able to step in it since their parents' deaths. The other timeline is of their parents/Keaton's grandparents. We see their one of a kind beautiful love story (kind of like The Notebook) through a journal of Townsend and a how to throw dinner parties instruction manual/recipe book of Becks.

I adored a lot about this book. The Dockhouse Dames, Anderson and Bowen and how they wove into Keaton's life, the summer feel, the mystery to solve... Just another amazing KWH book!

Be sure to read her author's note as it's very important and personal.
