Without knowing exactly what this book was about prior to reading it, it wasn't too hard to put together the 100 days of happiness and the three months to live. That being said, the story - how it unfolds, the small moments, the unexpected actions - was captivating. I usually only read to fall asleep and I carried this book with me everywhere so I could read even if I only had a couple of minutes.

Despite the sadness, this book is hopeful and full of joy. I've thought about it often since I've finished and I wish there was more.

Polly and Annie are an unlikely pair that meet in the hospital with both of them going through medical issues. The two of them choose to look at the bright side of life in spite of terminal illness by living 100 happy days. A feel good read, but, yes, maybe a little too Pollyanna (get it?) for me to make it a full on two thumbs up.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks!

Sorry, I could not grasp the two disentangled characters. They read as far-fetched out of sorts personalities that I couldn't relate to.

This book helped change my outlook on life. I enjoyed growing with Annie and learning to be more happy and appreciating all that I have. There were many one-liners that I highlighted and want to hold onto as great advice.

The character development was amazing, and I truly felt connected to them (especially Annie and Polly), but even some of the secondary characters. I felt their emotions and visualized myself inside each location.

Something Like Happy connects with you and makes you feel a wide variety of emotions. It's not something I usually read, but I loved it and would recommend it to anyone!

*Thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin for the ARC, for which I have given an honest and unbiased review*

This book was everyting - sad, happy, heart-breaking, hilarious, irreverant, joyous. You name the emotion, and this story contained it. It is a out friendship and love, selfishness and selflessness. It is about choosing to live a life that is large enough to contain all the emotions, so that in those moments that everything turns to shit, your life isn't so small that that is all you can see or feel.

And if I take nothing else away from this, it will be to remember that "There is no one like you on the whole planet, no one that has ever lived or ever will. There is not a single other person with your fingerprints, or with the memories you carry, no one with your blood beating in their veins. You are yourself, you are alive, and that is enough."

I have no words for this beautiful story, but I'll try.

This story is about two very different women whose worlds meet in a hospital. One is a crazy happy one, (which may be from her tumor), and a depressive one (from her very sad life). It would seem they wouldn't stand each other right? Nope.

In hardship they just help each other and go crazy together. Sounds weird? unrealistic? Wrong! as it is written in such a great way that I felt like another one of the amazing gang.This is NOT just another terminal illnesses book, (although it has some typical stereotypes in it, it's only normal)

I am so glad I got to read this rollercoaster of a book, because it certainly made me look at life in a different way. Thank you Eva Woods!

People have said we should live each day as if we have a death sentence hanging over us. Yet, we tend to tell ourselves that there is plenty of time. So, things get put off for 'someday' and there are times when that day never arrives.

In this story, Polly challenges Annie to join her in a challenge to learn to be happy in just 100 days. Polly is a terminal cancer patient and Annie is a very depressed individual who just goes through the motions waiting for the next bad thing to happen. They meet by chance at the hospital and soon Annie realizes that she NEEDS Polly in her life as much as Polly needs her.

A wonderful story of friendships forged from unlikely circumstances and finding happiness in your life. Plus, the added benefit of seeing how one person CAN impact the lives of others leaving them in a better position.

Uplifting book about friendship, dying and learning to live. Loved this book! Made me laugh and cry. I only cry when I've really connected with the characters.

This is a story about two women. Annie has lost her life and Polly has been given three months to live.

Annie was the happily married mother of a beautiful baby boy until he died, she fell into depression and her husband left her. Since that time she has been existing--working a job she hated, sharing a depressing apartment with a roommate she really doesn't know and taking care of her mother, who has early-onset Alzheimer's. She has no friends and she has no fun in her life.

Polly had it all too--great job, handsome husband, great friends and a supportive family. However when "Bob", her brain tumor, made himself known, she decided that she would spend her last few months grabbing life, not waiting for death.

We follow Annie and Polly though several weeks of doing things they have dreamt of and never done or things Polly wants to do at least once more. Polly pushes Annie and others outside their comfort zones and gets them to grab for things that make them happy.

The book is set in England and uses British terms like "jumper" or "NHS".

Polly's mother is a churchgoer but Polly has not been during her adult life. Now that she is dying she can't decided whether she'd rather believe, or not.

While there are no bedroom scenes in the book, two of the characters are homosexual.

I smiled, laughed and cried while reading this book. I highly recommend it and give it an A. I'd like to thank the publisher for providing a review copy via NetGalley.

While the plot is a little tiresome, Woods has made her characters unique enough that readers will remain interested in both the details and witty dialogue. The story is entertaining as well as meaningful and will take readers on a wild ride.
