Giveaway - Secrets to Happiness - Sarah Dunn


Thanks to the generosity of The Hachette Book Group, I have a copy of Sarah Dunn's latest book, Secrets to Happiness, to giveaway.

From the publisher:

"Holly Frick has just endured the worst kind of breakup: the kind where you're still in love with the person leaving you. While her wounds are still dangerously close to the surface, her happily married best friend confesses over a bottle of wine that she is this close to having an affair. And another woman comes to Holly for advice about her love life--with Holly's ex!Holly decides that if everyone around her can take pleasure wherever they find it, so will she. As any self-respecting 30ish New York woman would do, she brings two males into her life: a flawed but endearing dog, and a good natured, much younger lover. She's soon entangled in a web of emails, chance meetings, and misguided good intentions and must forge an entirely new path to Nirvana. From the author of The Big Love, Secrets to Happiness is a big-hearted, knife-sharp, and hilariously entertaining story about the perils of love and friendship, sex and betrayal--and a thoroughly modern take on our struggle to be happy."

To be entered, leave a comment about something that makes you happy! Open to both US and Canada, no po boxes please. PLEASE make sure I have a way to contact you - either through your blog or by leaving your email. Giveaway ends July 7th, 6 pm EST. Good luck and check the sidebar for ongoing giveaway.
