The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley by Courtney Walsh
Over 1,650 5-Star Reviews!
She’s out to prove that there’s no such thing as choosing happiness.
Isadora Bentley follows the rules. She likes things just so. And she’s certain that happiness is something that flat-out doesn’t exist in her life—and never will.
A university researcher by trade, Isadora keeps to herself. She avoids the students she’s meant to mentor, steers clear of her neighbors, and lives a quiet, meticulously organized life in her equally orderly apartment. Romantic relationships are firmly off the table—especially with another academic. It will be just Isadora and her research. Forever.
Then, on her thirtieth birthday, Isadora does something completely out of character. She makes an impulse purchase: a magazine featuring a ridiculous article called “Thirty-One Ways to Be Happy.” From smiling at strangers to indulging chocolate cravings, the list is pure nonsense—or so she thinks. Determined to prove the author wrong, Isadora launches a secret research project of her own.
But as her experiment unfolds—and she crosses paths with a charming professor—Isadora is forced to confront an inconvenient possibility. Maybe she’s not debunking happiness after all. Maybe she’s been proving herself wrong. And maybe, just maybe, letting go is the first step toward something she never believed she deserved.
