'A smart, heartwarmingly funny story about modern love in the city. Secrets to Happiness is brimming with Sarah Dunn's vivid characters and engaging voice and will linger long after you've finished the last page. I love this book' Emily Giffin, author of Something Borrowed and Love the One You're With 'Sarah Dunn achieves what so many authors set out to do but so few manage: she captures the Zeitgeist. If you can imagine a cross between Candace Bushnell and Edith Wharton, that is Sarah Dunn' Toby Young, author of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People 'I love this book. I loved Sarah Dunn's last book. I can't wait for her next book. She is very funny, that's the first thing to say. But she is also deep, interesting and subtle. Her characters could be my friends and yet they utterly surprise me. She is so smart about life and society and the complex and contradictory ways our hearts behave. "Oh that is so true." As I read Secrets to Happiness, I found myself thinking that again and again and again' Delia Ephron, author of Hanging Up and co-writer of You've Got Mail 'Sarah Dunn's Secrets to Happiness zips along hilariously, fuelled by pitch-perfect dialogue. Secrets to Happiness is an antic urban comedy, with enough neurotic characters to fill the cast of a Woody Allen movie. It's great fun' Boston Globe '[Secrets to Happiness is] stocked with the staples of a great chick lit souffle - strong characters, oddball situations, razor-sharp writing. But [Sarah Dunn] mixes in extra ingredients like faith and spirituality that turn her books into a literary feast that few of her counterparts manage ... A former television writer, [she] is so skilled at dialogue and humour that she doesn't need to force her characters into contrived situations to entertain us ... But here's a secret: Read the book. More likely than not, it'll make you happy' Miami Herald A clever twist on modern relationships, this is a humorous outlook on the lengths people will go to find happiness'
