Go read!” HANNAH Jake and Helen are the main characters of Happiness For Beginners, and Duncan (Helen’s younger brother) is a main character in What You Wish For.

Sharing a tent with Jake, she tells him her middle brother Nathan had drowned when she was six. Helen felt responsible, and the family unraveled with first their dad, then their mother, leaving them.

READER REVIEW

I'm officially obsessed with Katherine Center, and I'm in the process of slowly reading all her books. (She's prolific though, so I'm having trouble keeping up!😅) This is my second of her books, and I love it as much as I love the first book I read by her, which had wonderful mental health (or more specifically, TBI, traumatic brain injury) rep, HELLO STRANGER. Helen Carpenter is a 32-year-old teacher. She's had a tough time in the last year since her divorce. As a challenge to improve herself, she has signed up to do a survival trip in the Wyoming mountains. The night before she has to leave, she stops by her brother Duncan's house. He's supposed to petsit for her. She wasn't expecting to find a party going on, her brother nowhere to be found and her brother's best friend, Jake thanking her for driving him to the same survival camp. Here is where I stop telling you more. I would rather you experience this story. I thoroughly enjoy it. I hope this is not the last time we see these characters. Duncan is worthy of getting his own book. I guess who you are always seems normal to you because you don’t know what it feels like to be anyone else.” of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center This is my third Katherine Center book and she is my new favorite author. Reading her books is effortless because you are carried away with her story and the characters. You cheer for some, wonder about others and really dislike others. Her writing is simple and deep at the same time. Not overly flowery or obvious in its descriptions. I read most of this book in a single day’s car ride. You won’t be disappointed.”
