The Happiness In Between by Grace Greene
3.0
I was given a copy of this book for free in exchange for an open and honest review.
This is the first book that I have read by [author:Grace Greene|4704348] and I feel like I'm off to sweet and cozy start with [book:The Happiness In Between: A Novel|31703100]. Sandra's story started off differently than any other book I've read in similarly written romance novels. That said, this book is so much more than a romance novel. I had a hard time relating to Sandra and her decisions made prior to the beginning of the novel where she married her college boyfriend, Trent, leaving behind her college education simply to support him in his career. She then divorces Trent only to remarry him just as quickly. This aspect of Sandra's personality made it difficult for me to relate to her until I was about a third of the way through the book when I became more familiar with the other characters in the novel, especially Colton. Sandra is a lot like a "real" person because she is flawed and, for me, that made her more likeable, in the long run. I don't want to give away too much of the novel but it has a sweet and happy ending, which, let's face it, sometimes in life that is exactly what you need. Suffice to say this book is filled with sweetness and a bit of fun and laughter. It isn't filled with perfect people and it isn't the perfect book but how boring would life, real or fictionalized, be if everyone and everything was perfect? I enjoyed [book:The Happiness In Between: A Novel|31703100] by [author:Grace Greene|4704348] and look forward to reading more books by Ms. Greene in the future.
