“One of the best reads of this decade for me, featuring an unforgettable, gutsy heroine and an equally endearing, swoon-worthy hero. What more could you ask for? You have to read this book! I’m adding this to every Katherine Center book that I have reviewed, because I truly mean this: I have always been able to understand and relate to everything K...
“I should have known when I read a recommendation from Brené Brown on the back that this book would be brilliant. On the surface it appears to be a light fiction romance read. But there were so many incredible lessons sprinkled through this book. I’m walking away with a better understanding of positive psychology and deciding where my story starts ...
“I love that I can always count on Katherine Center to provide me with a feel-good, laugh out loud kinda book that also has great little nuggets of wisdom!

“Ahh, Katherine Center! Her books are always wonderful but I loved this one a little extra! ” —ASPEN “This may have just edged forward as my favorite Katherine Center book! The COVID life blues had me at the bookstore looking for a pick-me-up, and I thought what could be better that a book titled HAPPINESS FOR BEGINNERS. I ended up finishing the bo...

“Love, Love, Love! Katherine Center did it AGAIN! I particularly loved–and was so surprised–that the main character, Helen Carpenter, is the sister of Duncan Carpenter, one of the main characters in another one of Katherine’s novels, What You Wish For (also fabulous!), giving me the backstory to these two. Wonderful story of forgiveness, healing, a...
“This was a great read. It was captivating, compelling, and positive. Really made me want to get out and go for a hike! But wow was it ever a rollercoaster. Broke my damn heart with some backstories. I’m quite sad their isn’t a sequel or a longer epilogue but it was a fantastic read while it lasted. Ps. I heard they’re making it into a Netflix movi...
“Helen’s journey to finding happiness in what life has given her is deep, meaningful, and so well-written. The little bit of romance woven throughout adds a little extra depth (and I’m a sucker for romance, so there’s that). When we learn to feel gratitude for what we have, rather than pining over what we don’t, our lives have more meaning, more jo...
“First things first, I ADORE Katherine Center. In case she sees this, I want her to know I have loved and will love anything she writes. That being said, I read Things You Save in a Fire early this year, and after falling in love with it, I went back to the author’s previous novels to continue obsessing over how amazing she is. That is how I discov...
“Another 5 star, heartwarming tale that is told with incredible humor and talent. I couldn’t get enough of these characters. I loved their story, I loved their chemistry, and I am not usually a romance reader but I loved this book.” —CHIARA “I literally cannot get enough of Katherine Center’s books, and this book is no different for me! And this is...
