"Centerโs many fans will be delighted, and those who enjoyed the movie will love hearing Kemper narrate the audio. An emotionally narrated novel, full of heart and hope."โLibrary Journal
As seen on Netflixโfrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Bodyguard and Hello Stranger
The audiobook is read by Ellie Kemper, who starred in the screen adaptation of Happiness for Beginners on Netflix. Kemper, also known for her standout roles in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Bridesmaids, and The Office, gives a warm and joyful performance of this novel from the New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk Away and Things You Save in a Fire.
Helen Carpenter canโt quite seem to bounce back. Newly divorced at thirty-two, her life has fallen apart beyond her ability to put it together again. So when her annoying younger brother, Duncan, convinces her to sign up for a hardcore wilderness survival course in the backwoods of Wyomingโshe hopes itโll be exactly what she needs.
Instead, itโs a disaster. Itโs nothing like she wants, or expects, or anticipates. She doesnโt anticipate the surprise summer blizzard, for exampleโor the blisters, or the rutting elk, or the mean pack of sorority girls. And she especially doesnโt anticipate that her annoying brotherโs even-more-annoying best friend, Jake, will show up for the exact same courseโand 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 canโt. How being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes getting really, really lost is your only hope of getting found.
Happiness for Beginners is Katherine Center at her most heart-warming, captivating bestโa nourishing, page-turning, up-all-night read about how to get back up. Itโs a story that looks at how our struggles lead us to our strengths. How love is always worth it. And how the more good things we look for, the more we find.
