Summary: 3 Stars
What really makes a person happy? For Holly is it rescuing a dog with cancer or having midnight sex with a 22-yeard-old? According to her best friend's husband it's having your wife on Paxil but for Amanda it just may be having an affair. For Holly's ex-boyfriend who came before her ex-husband it's learning how to manage a crazy fling in New York with a committed girlfriend in Colorado. Follow along with Holly and a few of her friends and acquaintances, all living in New York, searching out the answer to that very question.
Dunn brings us a humorous story with both wit and a bit of the snark factor. Different from most chick lit, Secrets to Happiness doesn't follow along the lines of girl loses guy, goes through dating hell then gets the good guy and I enjoyed the realistic ending over the happily ever after. I just wish there were less secondary characters and more of Holly's adventures. None of the characters including Holly were endearing too me and none of them stood out as memorable. This was a breezy read that I recommend as a library selection for fans of chick-lit.
