Happy All The Time by Laurie Colwin
If you’re a lover of all things Sally Rooney, Dolly Alderton, and books like Eleanor Oliphante or the Importance of Being Ernest, add this to your repertoire. The easiest read that feels like you’re just visiting with old friends. This book taught me that everyone’s definition of love and how they want to be loved is different. After reading it I got a strange urge to write a book report…and recommend it to anyone looking for their next read!

“My favorite Laurie Colwin—a beloved, take-it-everywhere-for-the-rest-of-your-life kind of book. It’s a treasure box of wisdom—but what feels particularly striking is how it surfaces the (many) ways we build our domestic and aesthetic lives, the places we locate pleasure and beauty.”

“the sweetest world to inhabit with prose that felt safe, comforting, and joyful. like laying on a blanket in the sun or having a nice bowl of soup. she gives loving words about the craft of domesticity through Holly. made me feel more dignified and less guilty about serving dinners for men in contemporary life.”

“Inhaled this as a direct result of this recommendation and got teary when I realized it was over. A total joy 🎈”
