Happiness For Beginners

Helen Carpenter has always lived her life as far from the edge as possible. Finding herself newly divorced and a little lost, Helen decides she needs a reset. So when her annoying younger brother convinces her to sign up for a hardcore wilderness survival course, she hopes the adventure will be exactly what she needs. Instead, it`s a disaster. It`s nothing like she expected. She doesn`t expect the surprise summer blizzard, for example-or the blisters, or the mean pack of sorority girls. And she especially doesn`t expect that her annoying brother`s even-more-annoying best friend, Jake, would show up for the exact same course-and distract her, derail her, and... kiss her. But it turns out sometimes disaster can teach you exactly the things you need to learn. Like how to keep going, even when you think you can`t. How being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes getting really, really lost is your only hope of getting found.
