GIVEAWAY: 3 copies of Secrets to Happiness by Sarah Dunn

July 26, 2010 by Darlene


The last giveaway for today is for 3 copies of Secrets to Happiness by Sarah Dunn. Another book with an adorable dog on the cover and one within the story. I read this book last year for the author’s blog tour and enjoyed it (my review). Again, anytime a dog is a part of a story I find myself drawn into it.

Here’s a bit about the book:

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.

Yet another book I think would make a great pick for your book club! So many topics – breaking up, still being hopelessly in love, affairs, love, friendship and a good dose of hanky panky as well. This book will have your book club chattering for a while! Hachette Book Group has even provided a Reading Group Guide that will get your discussion going and keep it going.

Visit Sarah Dunn’s website.
