This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for letting me take part in this tour. I recently read I Will Survive and really enjoyed it so I was excited to return to these characters.

The story is set a few months after the end of I Will Survive. Alison decides that the three of them, herself, Kate and Frankie, need new years resolutions which she titles their Happiness Project. Kate wants to be more Zen for her third pregnancy, Frankie wants to be, well be a real grown up I guess and Alison wants to exercise more, eat healthily and learn how to live again.

Much like the first book this story is peppered with funny moments, PTA politics and real mum problems. Pippa manages to both tell a realistic and heartwarming story while making you laugh through some of the pain of losing a loved one.

It was a joy to return to these characters. This is a light, easy read that was perfect to curl up with on these cold miserable nights. I look forward to seeing what Pippa will bring us in the future.
