Secrets to Happinessby Sarah Dunn |
Arlene Almas: This is a light-hearted story about Holly,
a single 30-something with a best friend named Amanda. Amanda has a husband,
Mark, and a baby, Jacob, and is having an affair with a man named Jack, whom
she introduces to Holly. In addition, Holly has an ex-husband, Alex; an
ex-boyfriend-before-the-husband, Spence, very thinly disguised as a
character in a novel she wrote; and a young 22-year-old lover named Lucas.
Oh, and I mustn't forget Chester, her dog. The narrative bops around
among these characters and others, before Holly finally finds unexpected
romance with... well, you didn't think I'd spoil THAT for you, did you?
