The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley is the ray of sunshine and humor you need in your life and not to be missed.
Isadora Bentley is an introverted university researcher who is comfortable living her quiet, minimal interactions with others until her 30th birthday. Never one to do things "on a whim" she buys a magazine advertising 31 ways to be happy. Her intent is to prove the author of the article wrong.
What she finds is so much more than she ever imagined.
I loved so many aspects of this story. The endearing and memorable characters, engaging storyline and the timely theme of being who God made you to be.
Last year, I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator does a phenomenal job capturing the essence of the story. This month, I re-read The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley for my book club and loved it again the 2nd time. To me the mark of a good story is one you can read multiple times and still glean enjoyment, depth and insight from it.
Do yourself a favor my friends, if you have not read any books by Courtney Walsh run to the nearest bookstore or library and get her books. You won't regret it.
Reading is an adventure,
Emilee
