4.5 stars!Happy(ish) follows Jane, a single thirty-five year old woman, on her journey from being happy-ish with her life -- from her ho-hum job, to falling in and out of bed with her jerk ex-boyfriend, to being a third wheel while her friends find love, to bickering with her mom over...just about everything -- to finding her own true joy.This book was hilarious. I actually snorted a few times while reading at the gym. I really enjoyed and related to the character of Jane. There were times I wanted to scream at her for pursuing a fantasy when something "real" and pretty amazing was right in front of her but then I realized that I have done that myself. I adored all of the characters and the snarky banter between them was very fresh and felt completely true to life. I enjoyed every aspect of this book and the only reason I removed half a star was because I thought it was a bit too long and there were a few scenes I found myself skimming. But, yes, it was really, really good. Highly recommended to anyone with a good sense of humor who doesn't get offended too easily. I hope this author writes another book!
