Publisher's Summary:
Do you love Marian Keyes, Sophie Kinsella and Jill Mansell? If so, Stella Newman is for you!
Is there a formula for happiness? If it's Netflix, two-for-one Malbec and the perfect toasted cheese sandwich, Lenny has it covered. But when her friend Juliet finds herself at rock bottom, Lenny realises it's going to take more than that to fix her.
Luckily help is at hand in the form of HappyGuru, a plan which promises happiness in seven easy steps. So when Lenny is asked to research it, she puts scepticism aside and persuades Juliet they should give it a go. The friends quickly find themselves immersed in mindfulness, juice cleanses and death-defying circus stunts.
Yet as Juliet becomes increasingly buoyant, things only get more complicated for Lenny. Can it be that happiness is only seven steps away?
A funny and moving novel of friendship, heartbreak and the restorative power of melted cheese.
Members Reviews:
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was easy to read and I could definitely see this appealing to a large range of ages
Seven Steps to Happiness by Stella Newman follows the day to day lives of Lenny and Juliet. Lenny and Juliet are the best of friends, and have been since school, but their lives have taken very different routes. Lenny is bored of her job, bored of her friend with benefits, and all over just a bit stuck in life. Juliet, on the other hand is happily married, with a beautiful daughter and home â although she still has her fair share of problems, too, but I wonât spoil that for you!
I absolutely loved both Lenny and Juliet â they are both very well developed characters and I ended up rooting for them both. I felt their pains, their frustrations, and smiled along in their happiness. I definitely didnât struggle in liking Lenny (as I have read a few other people say in their reviews online), and overall I cannot fault Stella Newman whatsoever on Lenny and Juliet. I havenât read a book where I have loved the characters this much in a long time!
I not only have to praise Stella Newman for her character development, but also the evident amount of research that must have been undertaken to create such a complex plot. Rather than skim over details of Lennyâs job as a researcher, we see her in the role with the perfect amount of detail â same goes for Julietâs career and the cities visited throughout the novel. This made the novel that bit more realistic, and helped me create a much more vivid motion picture in my mind.
Within this light-hearted easy page turner are some more serious topics â adultery, divorce, unemployment, social hierarchy and much more. All are dealt with very well â realistically and sensitively â and also show the reader that no one is perfect: we all have our own battles in life! That being said, the characters all work through their issues with the help of their friends, which inspired positivity within me. If Juliet can get through her issues with Matt, I can surely get over my much smaller personal issues in life!
I have only a couple of negative points I have to discuss, which are the reason this book wasnât quite up to a 5/5 from me. Firstly, it took me a while to really get into the storyline. The first few chapters seemed quite slow, with not much progress on the plot.
