Viac o knihe

Isadora Bentley is a rule-follower who believes happiness is a myth in her life. As a university researcher, she isolates herself, avoiding students and neighbors to maintain her quiet, organized existence. Determined to never engage in romantic relationships again—especially with another academic—Isadora focuses solely on her research. However, on her thirtieth birthday, she impulsively buys a magazine featuring an article titled “Thirty-One Ways to Be Happy.” Intrigued, she embarks on a secret research project to disprove the article's claims, which suggest simple actions like smiling at strangers and indulging in chocolate can lead to happiness. As Isadora delves deeper into her project and encounters a charming professor, she begins to question her long-held beliefs. To her surprise, she discovers that happiness might be attainable and that embracing spontaneity could lead her to a more fulfilling life. This contemporary Christian romance is perfect for fans of Denise Hunter and Rachel Linden and includes discussion questions for book clubs.
