Summary
It's the smallest things that make the biggest difference.
Annie has been sad for so long that she's forgotten how to be any other way. She's trudging miserably through every day, sheer determination keeping her going. Until she meets Polly. Polly is everything that Annie is not. She's colourful, joyful, happy. Because if recent events have taught Polly anything, it's that your time is too short to waste a single day.
Polly has 100 days to help Annie find happiness. Annie's convinced it's impossible, but so is saying no to Polly. And on an unforgettable journey, Annie begins to realise that maybe, just maybe, there's still colour to be found in the world. But then it becomes clear that Polly's about to need her new friend more than ever...and Annie will have to decide once and for all whether letting others in is a risk worth taking.
If you liked Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine or The Keeper of Lost Things, you'll love How to Be Happy.
Critic reviews
"I read this recently and loved it SO much. I cried buckets, but it's ultimately a really positive, uplifting book about making every day count." (best-selling author Clare Mackintosh)

Uplifting and beautiful
In uncertain times that we are currently living in it has been an absolute joy to listen to such a beautifully written heartwarming story that is fantastically narrated and draws you in from the first chapter. Highly recommended for anyone who needs some extra sunshine in their life.

good story
honest and believable account of what it is like to lose somebody too soon and what it is like to bear the most unimaginable loss and yet there is still positivity to be had. really liked Annie the character, the voice she had in this performance - not so much. good story, good charcters, i finished this in less than a week. the observation from someone who has no time left, watching how we others can sometimes waste ours will stay with me i think!

Just lovely
I really enjoyed this book. The narration is at a nice pace that’s not overbearing or rushed, spot on with a lovely tone that fitted well with the story. And the story is lovely too
I really enjoyed it, thank you
